We Engage

We engage with coaches, athletes and organisations around the globe, building networks and providing supportive platforms for them to connect, share, and develop. 

Our network is one of the biggest in the world of performance sports. It is seen as a safe space for our members, enabling them to openly speak up and share their visions on how to create real change in sport.

We Change

We work with sports federations to create change in their coaching landscape, developing an equitable culture for male and female coaches. 

Working alongside brands including UK Athletics, World Athletics, Tottenham Hotspur, WHOOP, and Nike, we consult with organisations, teams and federations to drive change in sports systems for a more efficient, effective and safer coaching environment.

We Support

We support our partners in creating their own change for female athletes, coaches, and leaders in their respective sports. 

We’ve helped organisations such as Gazing RED2BLUE, World Athletics, Athletics Canada, ALTIS, the Olympic Federation of Ireland, and the USA Women’s National Soccer Team to implement new opportunities and policies to empower female coaches across the world. 

We also support and empower female coaches to be the best they can be by providing them with unique opportunities to connect, share and develop.
