International Women's Day 2022

Women in Sport Resources

If you’re familiar with us at Athlete Assessments, you would know that we’re huge advocators for gender equality and female representation in sport, which is part of the reason we were so excited by this year’s theme for International Women’s Day on March 8th 2022, to be #BreakTheBias.

While we know there are many so resources available on the International Women’s Day website, we wanted to compile a number of our resources which specifically focus on women in sport. Whether you’re a female coach, athlete, or administrator, a fan of women’s sport, or someone looking to find out more about how you can contribute towards supporting these women, this list is for you. 

Below you’ll find highlights of some of the amazing women we are fortunate enough to work with, articles that highlight gender disparity in sport and present important statistics and facts, valuable ways to support women coaches, and a downloadable magazine.
