the next: is women's sport getting better or just bigger?

About this episode

The episode discusses the growth and progress in women's sports and the impact of recent changes.

THE NEXT is a monthly podcast from The Female Athlete Project. Each episode, futurist and former athlete Reanna Browne joins Chloe and Bez to explore what’s changing in women’s sport, before it hits the headlines. We shine a light on the pockets of the future already here - the signals of change that are quietly [or not-so-quietly] reshaping women's sport in the present. Not to predict what’s coming, but to notice what’s already in motion. This week, we discuss three signals of change regarding the gap between growth and progress in women's sport and whether the big boom is being felt by those at the bottom as well as the top.  *** MORE THAN A GAME GAME , the ultimate women’s sports trivia game is here : Grab your copy now: https://thefemaleathleteproject.com/collections/all-products-collection Plus, The Women's Sports Fan Club has arrived.
