What if college sports didn’t feel like opportunity—but like imprisonment?
In this bold and unfiltered episode, we dive into “Unveiling Institutionalized Sports Abuse,” a work that dares to compare modern coaching culture to the Stanford Prison Experiment—and makes a strong case for why that comparison holds.
We explore the uncomfortable truth:
🏚️ Power dynamics in coaching often echo psychological control🚫 System-thinking dehumanizes athletes🧠 Athletes aren’t taught to think—they’re taught to obey
When the goal becomes domination instead of development, abuse gets normalized. From scholarships used as leverage to international recruits stripped of their voice, this episode reveals the cost of silence and the danger of unchecked authority.
But this isn’t just critique. It’s a blueprint for change.
The author, a coach themselves, offers an alternative: one rooted in empowerment, critical thinking, and respect—where coaching builds the individual, not just the performer.
If you’ve ever questioned the culture of college athletics, this is the episode you can’t miss.
