Empowering Movement: Why we need to consider body image in sport

About this event

Join Georgie Trickett from Play On Media and Sportish, alongside Dr. Zali Yager, Co-Executive Director of The Embrace Collective for an insightful and transformative free webinar which will delve into the critical role that body image plays in encouraging young people (and especially, girls and women) to participate in sports and physical activities.

Young people tell us that the pressure around their appearance in terms of the ‘ideal’ body for their sport, and comments from peers, parents, and coaches can make them avoid certain sports, or drop out of their sport. Our expert speakers will explore the intersection of body image and physical activity engagement, providing valuable insights on how we can create more inclusive and supportive environments for all.

You’ll learn:

• The impact of body image on participation in sports among young people
• Why this is a particular issue for girls and women
• Strategies for creating club cultures that are safe and welcoming for all    young people
• Real-life stories and case studies that highlight successful initiatives
• Practical tips for coaches, educators, and parents

Whether you’re a coach, educator, parent, or advocate for women in sports, this webinar is designed for you!
