Episode 294 - The Problem With How We View Female Athletes

Women in their 40s are still running marathons, lifting weights, playing elite sport and getting stronger than ever…so why does society still act surprised when women stay ambitious?In this episode, I talk about the double standards around ageing in sport, why older female athletes are often viewed differently from men and how netball still struggles with how it markets female athletes and ambition.This isn’t just about sport. It’s about permission to keep taking up space.Follow me on Instagram - www.instagram.com/coachedbyleanne and message me any questions about health, mindset or netball!For Net Strength, please go to www.coachedbyleanne.co.uk/net-strength
