SDRCC Webinar – Athletes’ Rights and Responsibilities

Please note: This webinar will be presented in French and English over two days. This is the session presented in English.

Whether it is over team selection, carding, doping, disciplinary matters, or an athlete
agreement, a dispute between an athlete and his/her sport organization has the potential to
seriously impede an athlete’s sport career ambitions. Knowing their rights and responsibilities in
the sport system will reduce the risk of such disputes, so that athletes can put all of their energy
into what will help them reach their full potential on the field. This webinar will cover four
fundamental rights of athletes, with corresponding responsibilities. Participants will learn, through
interactive scenario analyses, valuable tips and strategies that all athletes should know about in
order to steer clear of career-altering disputes with their sport governing bodies.
