For policy-makers, system leaders and anyone shaping the future of sport, this is more than a book. It's a practical resource, a challenge to the status quo, and a roadmap toward building environments where women not only work they thrive.

The sport industry has long operated on structures and systems that weren't built for women, especially not for those working behind the scenes as leaders, coaches, developers, or support staff. While progress has been made, too many women still face invisible barriers, cultural bias and professional compromise simply for existing in spaces that weren't designed with them in mind. Women Working in Sport offers a fresh, unapologetic lens on these challenges and moves decisively toward solutions. Through the voices of coaches, psychologists, administrators, academics and directors, this book sheds light on what's holding women back and more importantly, how we move forward. Each chapter is a conversation, a lived experience and a call to action offering not just critique but real insight for organisations serious about equity, wellbeing and performance. For policy-makers, system leaders and anyone shaping the future of sport, this is more than a book. It's a practical resource, a challenge to the status quo, and a roadmap toward building environments where women not only work they thrive.
