TCU strength coach Kaz Kazadihas gone viral for a speech he gave his football players on consent and sexual harassment.
In the TCU coach’s speech, he gave the guys a scenario and shared an example of how they should act in that situation.
“You’re with the young lady. She has to consent to every act,” Kazadi said. “So if you were in the car with her and something went down in the car, that does not mean that something has to go down at the apartment. If y’all do something in the car, that does not mean something else has to happen,” he reiterated.

Kazadi also warned of sharing explicit photos. “That next day, you cannot assume that it is okay to send a d— pic or something like that,” he added.
And Kazadi emphasized that negatively commenting on a woman’s appearance still counts as sexual harassment. “She has every right to turn around and press charges against you,” he explained to the team, who all wore serious expressions during the talk.
“Yes yes yes! This is a great example of utilizing the moment,” a female sports coach wrote of Kazadi’s efforts.
Recognizing how much attention the college players were paying to their coach, another follower stated: “His guys are always locked in, whether he’s actively yelling/moving at practice in Coach mode or calmly speaking to them man-to-man in mentor mode. A+ Coach!”
