Lack of coordinated development opportunities
Building a capable and sustainable coaching workforce across the high performance sport system requires thoughtful and proactive coach development. 2
- Authentic and practical learning and development opportunities for women remain limited. 2
- Existing development programs are often broad in scope and may not fully address the specific needs and contexts of different sports. 2
- Women transitioning into new coaching roles may not always receive the support needed to thrive and succeed. 2
- There are few structured pathways to help women return to coaching after taking career breaks, including for family responsibilities. 2
- Efforts have often focused on individual programs rather than addressing broader systemic barriers. 2
- Limited data collection and evaluation make it difficult to fully understand the challenges and measure progress over time. 2
