What do we know?
- There are several parallels between the world of sport and business - from vision to strategy, recruitment and leadership, a coach's job is akin to business leaders
- Participation of women in sports drops as girls and women get older. 46% of Australian girls aged 0-14 participate in organised sport at least once a week, which drops to 32% for women and girls aged 15+.
- Female professional athletes still need to maintain outside employment just to cover their cost of living, while male professional athletes do not.
- Less than 5% of sports startups in Australia are led by women.
These are all points that show a conversation needs to be had about what we can learn from the world of sport, and how the world of sport and technology can share learnings about diversity, inclusion and representation.
