Sport England found...
📣 36% of women volunteer in sport
🚹 Compared to 64% of men
🚺 Yet outside of the sport sector women are more than men likely to volunteer (NCVO)

It's not that women don't want to coach, but intersecting barriers make it almost impossible

Emma Hayes OBE

Here are the universal barriers that women listed:
👉 Other time commitments (76%)
💸 Cost of gym membership (59%
❌Lack of safe spaces (43%)

'Sometimes less is more' - some simple conditions I love to do in activities:
-shout 'anyone, anyone, anyone' & my students switch partners with the same activity
-have the students add a rule to that same activity w/their partner
What are some you do? #PhysEd

Instead of 'this is too hard,' try 'this may take some time.' Wise words are displayed for learners to consider as they work through their lessons.

Many female athletes do not transition into coaching roles after retiring from competition because:

➡️ there is no pathway to elite coaching

➡️ sport does not recognise & reward female coaches

➡️ coaching is under professionalised

➡️ lack of mentors & sponsors
