Women in Sport launches coaching study

Women in Sport is launching a national survey with Leeds Beckett University into the working conditions and culture of coaching – covering all sports at every level. All the data shows that there aren’t enough female coaches in sport.​

The challenges are deep-rooted: societal attitudes, gender bias, hostile cultures, unequal access to opportunities, an impossible work-life balance. But Women in Sport say we don’t yet fully understand the extent of these issues – or how they impact different women in different ways. ​

The Women in Coaching Taskforce

This work is part of a wider project, funded by Sport England and led by Women in Sport to transform the experiences of women in coaching.

The Women in Coaching Taskforce will build a shared understanding that leads to lasting change and ultimately, better environments to support more women in coaching. 

This is not just about increasing the numbers of female coaches. It’s about building a shared understanding that leads to lasting change and ultimately, better environments to support more women in coaching.
