Australian sport still features only a handful of openly gay men. The Sydney Roosters coach is fronting a training program that aims to change that.
The four-part series targets language and behaviour in sport, from the grassroots to the elite echelons, and gives coaches tools and practical examples to challenge homophobia and manage difficult conversations.
“And at the most basic level, the education is around just simple language – the jokes, the banter, ‘Hey, don’t say it that way or lazily use homophobic language in our environment’. As Pride in Sport’s conduit in the educational interviews with Robinson and Sauvage, Cork strikes a chord when he tells Sauvage: “The sad reality is that even today, most LGBTQI people come into any situation either on guard or assuming they’re not welcome.”
“That’s the point of the program, trying to improve sport as being inclusive and improving the way that we coach.”
