Mish Phillips: Why womxn find it hard to get coaching appointments, and what to do about it.

Does something seem wrong to you about the balance of female coaches we see in our sport? Have you ever heard the phrase "We have a merit-based selection process" used in response to a query as to why there aren't more womxn coaches?

Gender equity in coaching is a topic I care about deeply, and I believe in the ultimate community's ability to address issues of diversity. As an individual, having the right words when you find yourself in a challenging conversation can make all the difference. As a board member or policy driver, understanding the systemic biases that cause these issues allows you to develop more equitable appointment processes. Significant change is possible, and often inside a single appointment cycle.
