Click on "Edit Athlete" and scroll to the bottom and check the box pointed to in the image below and click "save changes".Screen Shot 2019-12-03 at 5.41.56 PM.png52.42 KB The next time Google or any other search engine indexes our site, it will see this setting and remove your profile from appearing in their searches.
