We know that women are underpaid. We know that roles in sport are usually less accessible to women. We know that women undervalue themselves in senior leadership roles.

“I don’t think women and men are more or less capable, we just have a clear issue with women not having opportunities. We need to be part of the solution, not perpetuating the problem.”
