This book is about sexual abuse in sport, and specifically about one girls experience of long-term chronic abuse in sport. A non-conventional approach is employed to explore the experiences of a female athlete named Bella who was groomed, sexually abused by her male coach, and then subjected to years of athlete domestic violence. Through a collaborative auto-ethnography process, these experiences are reported through vignettes and selected poems seeking to involve the reader in the grooming process of a young female athlete, so that they might react from the different social positions they currently occupy.
Bellas story acts as a pedagogical resource in ways that stimulate ethical discussions and enhance knowledge of sexual abuse in sport, by assisting those involved to better understand their own field and the dynamics of abuse within it, in order to develop effective abuse prevention strategies.
