Elite women coaches to benefit form specialized programme for leadership and technical training

Lausanne (Switzerland), Oct 3 (UNI) The International Summer Sports Federations of Cycling, Rowing, Rugby, Tennis, Triathlon and Wrestling are working together to help develop the leadership and technical skills of high potential female coaches. Supporting Recommendation 6 of the IOC’s Gender Equality Review Project, which seeks to increase the number of female coaches at the Olympic Games, these six International Federations have teamed up with the IOC and Olympic Solidarity to offer a 14-month programme for high-performance coaches at the Women’s Sport Leadership Academy at the University of Hertfordshire, Great Britain.
The initiative began as a discussion between various stakeholders on how to address the consistently low percentage of women coaches at the elite level, how to create pathways for these coaches, and women wishing to achieve this level and how to involve critical stakeholders at the national and international level to increase sustainability.
The aim is to up their skills and reinforce strengths of the candidates and to create a network to support these coaches in reaching their full potential as well as maintain their roles as elite trainers. The participants will also be encouraged to work within their national and regional settings in cooperation with their National Olympic Committees and National Federations to help others and raise awareness around women planning to become elite coaches.
