She's4Sports events

She’s4Sports is a Canadian sports organization that launched in 2016 to address the lack of representation of women and diverse groups in sports media. Through digital content and events we celebrate the achievements of women and 2SLGBTQ+leaders in sport

We&#x27;re kicking off 2020 with a brand new speaker series! Be Bold 2020 is an event series co-sponsored by Ryerson University - The Global Experiential Sport Lab (GXS Lab) and <a href="https://www.shes4sports.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">She&#x27;s4Sports</a>. This initiative will give a voice to bold game changers who are making a difference in gender diversity in sports and creating spaces for women and girls to thrive across the industry.Our first event is &#x27;She Can Coach&#x27;. Although there has been some progress in the hiring of women in professional sports including Hayley Wickenheiser, Assistant Coach, Toronto Maple Leafs and Becky Hammon&#x27;s rise within the San Antonio Spurs NBA franchise, women are still under-represented in coaching. According to the Canadian Association for the Advancement of Women and Sport and Physical Activity (CAAWS), women made up only 16% of head coaches and 18% of assistant coaches across 54 Canadian national teams (both men &amp; women). Come out and hear from our coaching panel of women to find out why this is still the case and what more can be done across the sports industry to remove barriers, so women can coach at all levels.
