    19: Body Image and Social Media in Sport
    Feb 2 2024
    As part of #SaferInternetDay and the ever growing notoriety of having an online presence from such a young age, we look at the impact social media has on body image for young athletes.

    We're joined by British Swimming's National Talent and Events Welfare Officer Rebecca Wood to cover how social media can be a double edged sword for growing athletes, as well as how body image has brought about changes within the British Swimming safeguarding policies.

    During this episode we cover: 
    • the positives of social media in building an athletes brand
    • the affects of sharing images and obligation to sport
    • the pressure of the 'ideaolised' body and the demand to look a certain way
    • experiences of online trolling
    • policy changes thanks to social media
    • how communication and treating an athlete as an individual is paramount
    Don't miss out on the conversation that goes beyond the game, revealing how social media can shape an athlete both on and off the field and what clubs, organisations and teams can do to help navigate the digital sport universe.

    Featuring
    Mel Nienartowicz – Host, CPSU
    Carole Billington-Wood – Senior Consultant, CPSU
    Rebecca Wood– National Talent and Events Welfare Officer, British Swimming
