According to a recent study, women who coach sports in the UK are subject to far more bullying and harassment than men.
In a survey of 2, 000 coaches, the organizations Women in Sport and Leeds Beckett University discovered that 30% of the women surveyed said they had experienced bullying in coaching settings, compared to 15% for men.
Additionally, 21% of women said they had experienced harassment, compared to 12% of men, and 22% of women said they had experienced aggression or violence, compared to 19% of men surveyed.
According to the report, “sports coaching in the UK is a hostile environment for women,” with many women choosing to “walk away” from “a system that offers less security, less support, and greater risks.”
According to the study, the study found that the study’s study found that the study’s study found that the study’s study identified that parents were frequently the most likely to perpetrate harassment of female coaches.
It adds that the higher the women’s levels of bullying rise, with 26% of women reporting it at the grassroots, 38% at the talent level, and 46% at the highest level, where women are disproportionately outnumbered.
Additionally, the study discovered:
A clear wake-up call, in other words.
Women in sport are not yet recognized as equal in sport, nor are they recognized as leaders, according to Women in Sport CEO Stephanie Hilborne.
“Sport needs clear anti-misogyny policies in place, supported by training, to combat harmful behaviors and the structures and cultures that allow inequality to persist,” according to the statement.
It’s a clear wake-up call, according to Chris Boardman, chair of Sport England.
Too many women and girls still face barriers to sport at every level, from safety concerns during exercise to online bullying and bullying in coaching.
Women in Sport argued that the findings demonstrate the need for long-term cultural change to ensure that women can work safely and confidently.
The charity suggested that anti-misogyny policies be implemented across all levels of sport, supported by appropriate training, to combat bad behavior and outdated attitudes.
To help fill in any gaps in pay, expenses, and investment in coach development, it demanded gender impact reporting and gender budgeting, as well as transparent annual reports on senior leadership’s composition.

After tens of thousands of football fans crowded the streets of Dakar for a celebratory homecoming parade, Senegal’s president on Tuesday congratulated the Lions of Teranga for their “historic” victory in the Africa Cup of Nations final against Morocco.
As they made their way across the capital and past countless crowds of fans before dusk, the players and coaches finally arrived at the presidential palace brandishing their trophy from an open-top bus for more than seven hours.
President Bassirou Diomaye Faye addressed the players at a ceremony on the grounds, stating that their performance “demonstrated exceptional fighting spirit, extraordinary resilience, and an iron will, and that is what makes your victory historic.”
As the musicians arrived for the reception, a fever pitch of almost audible noise, including revving engines, horns, vuvuzelas, and shouting, dominated Downtown.
The streets were filled with electric energy, whistling, waving flags, dancing, and blowing vuvuzelas all day long by especially young fans.
While a large crowd lined the sidewalks, some walked or even ran alongside the bus, others waited in the shadow of structures and bridges, or even climbed on top of cars and billboards to get a view.
In a tense final on Sunday in Rabat, where Senegal defeated Morocco 1-0, the eventual champions were forced to leave the field late in the match.
The team made their way back to Senegal on a special flight just before midnight on Monday, where President Faye, Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko, and other government officials welcomed them.
Fan Doudou Thiam said he “wouldn’t have missed this moment for the world” from the sidelines of the parade in the Bourguiba neighborhood.
The 26-year-old, who was wearing a Senegal jersey, said, “The Lions are our pride and they deserve all the honors.”

Din of victory

Fans flooded the streets after Senegal’s victory, filling the air with fireworks, honking, and the audible roar of vuvuzelas.
After defeating Egypt in Cameroon in 2022, Senegal won the second title. In just the previous four competitions, the team won the team’s third final.
In the working-class neighborhood of Patte d’Oie, where the procession started, Hortense Kenny brought her five-year-old child.
She told AFP, “The Lions made an entire nation proud by beating the host country in those circumstances,” referring to the match’s conclusion.
“To win the World Cup is all that’s left now.” Anything is possible with Sadio Mane, she said, referring to the team’s biggest star.
He was widely praised for his efforts to persuade his teammates to return in the final, which he did as a peacemaker.
In his speech, Faye praised Mane, calling him a “player who left his mark on this final and this competition through his talent but first and foremost through his sense of responsibility.”
Additionally, the president gave each player a parcel of land along Senegal’s sought-after Petite Côte as well as 75 million CFA francs ($134, 000).
Win in a contested debate

The controversy surrounding their team’s decision to leave the field late in the day in protest of a penalty handed to Morocco left Tuesday’s crowd unconcerned.
After Mane’s prompting, they returned to the pitch, and Senegal’s goalkeeper was swift to save a brahim Diaz penalty before Pape Gueye scored a superb shot in extra time that stunned the Moroccan crowd.
The Moroccan FA reported the incidents to FIFA and the Confederation of African Football, including the protests against Senegal players and supporters.
In his speech, Faye thanked Morocco for its “immenseous efforts” in organizing the competition and thanked its team for their “remarkable performance.”
Far from Morocco, football’s lucrative business sector had flooded into Dakar on Tuesday night.
The 36-year-old street vendor Amath Ndiaye, who typically sells tissues, told AFP that he has switched to selling jerseys, flags, vuvuzelas, and whistles throughout the duration of AFCON and its celebratory ceremonies.
He was basking in the wisdom of his choice on Tuesday.
He told AFP from Patte d’Oie, where he was amidst a cheery crowd clad in patriotic Senegalese clothing and waving flags, “I’m doing well.”
After scoring twice to help Arsenal defeat Inter Milan 3-1 and advance to the Champions League last 16, Gabriel Jesus claimed that he had “tears in my eyes.”
The 28-year-old had an anterior cruciate ligament injury that had limited his previous starts in December. He returned in December.
Jesus has endured a number of setbacks while playing for Arsenal, but he feels like he has only played “one and a half or two” so far, despite having played there for four seasons.
The Brazil forward has shown signs of improvement since his comeback, scoring an excellent fourth goal against Inter last month in the club’s 4-1 win over Aston Villa.
After the Gunners maintained a 100% record in the Champions League this season with a club-record seventh consecutive victory, Jesus declared, “It’s a dream night”.
I had a lifelong desire to play football. When I was younger, I watched. I watched a lot of Serie A, so I was thrilled to be playing in this stadium because I had always wanted to be there.
Whatever the reason for something to happen, whether it’s good or bad, is always there. During my 11 months of field absence, I learned that.
“It’s always challenging to play against Inter Milan. Last season, we visited and lost. Even though they are a top team, they attack, and we played better than them tonight.
We received the three points at the conclusion. Because there will be another one over the weekend, we must continue.
His two goals, which came in a 6-0 victory over Lens on November 29, 2023, put an end to a string of 10 Champions League games that ended with no goals.
Since returning to full fitness as a summer signing Viktor Gyokeres struggled for form and goals, Gunners fans have been asking for Jesus to start.
The Swede hit a fine curling effort in Milan to put the game on the line for Arsenal’s final goal in the closing third of his 13 games.
Gyokeres, who scored in the Carabao Cup semi-final first-leg victory over Chelsea, does have two goals in his last three games, while Kai Havertz, who returned from a knee injury, offers another forward option.
“Everyone wants to start,” added Jesus. I have a lot of respect for people. I now understand football because I’m older than I am.
We’ve been missing Gabi a lot, says Arteta.

For the first time this season, two centre-forwards scored in the same game for the Gunners, with Gyokeres and Jesus both on target in Milan.
Manager Mikel Arteta expressed his disappointment with Gabi. Because we now have different profiles in that position, like we do with the wingers and in other positions, I believe it will raise his confidence levels and the team’s.
“And the fact that the players are engaged in that kind of play.” Viktor [Gyokeres] enters the game and significantly improves it.
The former Manchester City forward’s two goals increased Jesus’ total to 26 in his 53rd season, with Neymar (44) and Jardel (45), the only Brazilians to have reached that number in fewer games.
In the end, it’s not even about the players competing for spots. Clarence Seedorf, a four-time Champions League champion, told Amazon Prime, “Jesus said, even if the next player comes, he will still score his goal to help the team.”
“These are words I like to hear because they are now entering a different level because, yes, they are competing, but whoever plays needs to do so.
“If I’m not playing, you’ll play better because the team will win the next game.” That’s what I like.
Wayne Rooney, whose former club Manchester United will face Premier League leaders Arsenal next on Sunday, said: “If I were Gabriel Jesus, I would say, “I want to start the game on Sunday.”
Mikel Arteta, manager of Arsenal, applauded Gabriel Jesus’ performance and the team’s “incredible” depth of quality in their 3-1 Champions League victory over Inter Milan.

A former Love Island star has sparked a new romance outside of the villa and his brother admits he is “glowing”. Scott Thomas posted a recent getaway on social media as he soft launched his new relationship.
The 38-year-old reality TV star posted 20 travel photos to Rome, including those of his new love. The couple had a fantastic vacation, it was obvious from the photos shared by Scott.
A photo of Scott sitting next to his girlfriend while she took their lavish desserts was one of the uploaded photos. While Scott was holding onto her hands and legs, she made no explicit statements about who she was.

The duo was photographed at the Coliseum in another image. Scott also witnessed fine dining at some of the city’s Michelin-starred restaurants and touring the world’s famous cathedrals.
What an incredible few days, he wrote in his post, “Bringing another Vision Board moment to life this weekend… my first time in Rome, and it didn’t disappoint.”
And as he left a sweet note, he revealed more details in the comments section. He continued, “This s**t makes me smile,” The best always triumph in the end.
Adam, a well-known brother, made up for his sibling. He wrote, “Glowing,” in a straightforward comment. Many of Scott’s followers echoed this statement.
One user wrote, “I spy a nice manicure and some tanned legs.” “Go on, Scotty boy!” You’re so happy, I’m so happy. Rome looks stunning as well.
Scott had previously appeared on the spinoff Love Island and the All Stars series while searching for love. However, his fiancee Lucy recently criticized him.
The Thomas brothers were deemed “unusual” by the reality TV star. Ryan and his son Roman, who is five, and Lilah, who is three, are the two children the former TOWIE favorite has two children.
Fans were gobsmacked, and she confessed. When asked about the siblings’ alleged visits to her $1 billion mansion in Manchester, she said: “This family is strange. Not typical.
While she was chatting with Scott and Adam on the podcast’s At Home With The Thomas Brothers, she said, “The other day you were filming TikToks at ours and I was trying to try on clothes for the holiday and I was always wolf-wistling me.”
She remarked, “This is inappropriate,” while Ryan laughed and said, “I love it, though.”
