Unhealthy Practices of Coaches

In a session at NASSS, colleague Jim Denison (University of Alberta) made an interesting comment I’ve been thinking about ever since. He asserted that some coaches ask athletes to do all kinds of things that are bad for their health– and much less healthy than a supervised doping program.  He also raised the issue that some problems and knowledge get silenced, while other forms are given power.  What do you think?
