Women in Sports

The world of sport has always been male-orientated since its formal inception in 776 BCE, at the first Olympic Games. Male athletes and teams have continuously received more screen time and investment than their female counterparts, perpetuating the bias that undermines women in sports.  

In a survey, 40% of women working in sport reported feeling less valued than men in the workplace, reflecting the culture of inequality. Women in sports speakers can supply a powerful insight into this competitive environment, opening audiences’ eyes to the obstacles that female athletes face.  

For corporate guests, these speakers inspire audiences with their unwavering strength. Having smashed glass ceilings in their respective sports, hiring a female athlete for your event will ensure attendees come away empowered.
