* Nancy has been involved in sexual abuse issues when it comes to Club and Olympic athletes for 8 years now. She shares the reasons that it has taken this long for policies to be made to protect these athletes.
* The gymnasts that came forward changed the world of sport. Because of them, there is now a statue that gives the USOC, and US Center for Safe Sport a legal duty to take care of athletes. Nancy updates us on the changes that have occurred since the gymnasts have come forward.
* What are the red flags that athletes and parents can be aware of: when a coach is alone with them, that they give them a gift, texting them individually, friending them on social media that can make abuse possible.
