Game On: The Unstoppable Rise of Women’s Sport

September 2, 2021 by admin

Game-On-by-Sue-Anstiss- The Unstoppable Rise of Women's SportThis is a hugely valuable record of where we have been and where we are now in women’s sport.  It is uplifting, important and exciting.’ Clare Balding

 

Sport has an extraordinary, unique capacity to challenge and change society – to bring joy and hope, improve  physical and mental health, reduce loneliness and build self-esteem and happiness. It’s also a multi-billion pound commercial industry that can transform lives, businesses, nations and regions. So why has half the  population been deprived of access to something so culturally powerful?

In recent years, the landscape for women’s sport has finally begun to shift. We’ve seen significant increases in  investment, spectators and media coverage, with more women as professional athletes and leading sport as  board directors, editors, officials and CEOs.

Yet still, female athletes don’t get equal funding or opportunities. In many sports, women receive less prize  money, lower sponsorship revenues and a tiny fraction of the media coverage.

Drawing on her own experiences and interviews with high profile athletes, broadcasters, scientists, CEOs,  officials and sponsors, Sue Anstiss investigates why women have been excluded from the world of sport for  centuries, why we’re now seeing positive change as never before and why that should matter to us all.

Game On is a manifesto for women’s sport, providing a rallying cry to ensure this unstoppable rise continues and  highlighting how we can all play a part in driving change for the future.
