Idk I tried

I don’t think I’ve ever related to a trend before like this one. I spent the better part of 5 years not realizing I was in an abusive coaching relationship. While I was living it I knew it felt off but didn’t realize what was happening. I wouldn’t tell the people around me the full story because I was embarrassed or trying to protect him. And frankly I’m over protecting people who don’t deserve it. Honestly I wish people spoke up more, talked about coaches manipulating, controlling, emotional abusing, and what grooming can look like in sport. And I haven’t talked much on this mainly because I’m scared too. When people say to me “you seem happier, or something’s changed” I just want to say it’s because I am happier. It’s a combination of things but the biggest contributing factor is “I no longer with my old coach”.
