12 Schedule B Cross Country Canada Social Media Guidelines for Athletes and Coaches Social media is no different than a live microphone. Media outlets report on athletes posts regularly and some include a running stream of athlete posts on their sites. Athletes and Coaches should still be themselves and engage with fans through their social channels, but they should do so in a way that is appropriate and safe for media consumption / distribution. Posts should not contain vulgar or obscene words or images. Do not use profanity. Period. Use your best grammar, spelling and capitalization. Expect that a potential sponsor will be reading your posts. If unsure, ask for help. Inappropriate content vs. inappropriate behaviour. Example: It would be acceptable for an athlete to have a shower but it would not be appropriate for an athlete to post nude pictures of themselves showering. The behaviour is appropriate, but the content is not appropriate for distribution. Be mindful of promotion of potentially controversial behaviour that may cause damage to the image of the National Ski Team, Cross Country Canada or the sport of cross-country skiing. While it may be appropriate for an athlete to consume alcohol at a bar, it would not be appropriate for athletes to promote their own inebriation via their public social media accounts. Be aware of CCC s Code of Conduct and Ethics Policy and what behaviours and/or social media uses would constitute a breach of that agreement. Education in regards to the permanency and nonprivacy of social media content will be reviewed with athletes once per year in the summer or early fall. Athletes must be made aware that their postings on social media platforms are public and subject to the organization s Code of Conduct and Ethics policy and Social Medial and Social Networking policy. Be Mindful of external stakeholders. CCC is associated with a number of external stakeholders including corporate partners, suppliers, media and local community organizations. Athletes, coaches and employees should be mindful of those relationships on their social channels, understanding that they should treat them with the same respect as the organization itself. Social media, blogs or websites are not appropriate forums to voice concerns about Cross Country Canada sponsors, suppliers, clothing, staff, volunteers or the like. Remember that you may also not know exactly who the sponsors are so if in doubt, don t say anything. If you do have concerns, please contact your coach, athlete representative or a staff person within Cross Country Canada. Do not escalate a potential damaging tweet or post. If a tweet or post appears to be controversial or could potentially be damaging to a national ski team athlete, the National Ski Team, Cross Country Canada and/or the sport of cross-country skiing, do not pursue or attempt to reply for risk of escalation. Rather, contact Martine Zilligen at mzilligen@ccc.ski immediately in order for CCC to identify the most appropriate course of action. Initial 12
