Abstract
The dramatic cultural shift in USA Gymnastics following widespread abuse revelations has redefined the approach to athlete wellness and longevity. As a clinician working directly with USA Gymnastics, Gymnastics Canada, and the National Team of Switzerland, I have witnessed and contributed to this transformation firsthand. This presentation explores innovative strategies for fostering a safer, healthier, and more sustainable training environment across all sports. By integrating modern coaching methodologies, athlete-centered development models, and wellness-focused policies, I provide practical, research-backed tactics that promote long-term success without compromising physical, mental, or emotional well-being. Attendees will leave with actionable strategies to enhance athlete longevity, prevent burnout, and create a positive culture that supports both performance and personal growth.
