When Good Coaches Go Bad: Maggie Haney and USA Gymnastics. Yet Another Coach Banned For Abuse

There was disappointing news this week as USA Gymnastics announced that one of their coaches, Maggie Haney, was suspended for 8 years amid allegations of verbal and emotional abuse of her athletes. While these are never great stories, I received an email from a concerned parent wondering how these things happen at the highest levels of an elite sport and if she should be worried about that sort of thing for her athlete.
