https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-08-17/matildas-stars-call-for-football-funding-after-world-cup-run/102740026 I was never any good at sports or athletics (& was teased mercilessly), but a desire to participate meant that I practised at home & sometimes played 4 square at high school. As a young adult, I actually started a workplace based women’s indoor cricket team. We weren’t very good, but our skills improved dramatically. We won the bottom grade final, were promoted, then smashed. My fitness, coordination & confidence all improved. As a young mum, I joined a running club, 5km once a week. Non competitive & social. I now play golf, not regularly, not very well, but we’ll enough to enjoy it & it’s something my partner & I can do together & on holiday. And I walk, do Pilates, have been a gym member etc. My oldest was similar to me as a kid, but played basketball in a church comp, & has gone on to kayak, run & cycle, all non competitive & just for the fun of it. (But Long Covid has been an issue lately.) Supporting girls & women to find something they enjoy & participate in sport is important. Too many don’t get involved if they’re not “good at sport”, retreat from the teasing, or drop out in adolescence. Fitness & confidence suffer & weight issues often follow. Whether it’s team sport, athletics or things like cycling, kayaking etc, physical activity & fitness are important & link to mental health. The days of ladylike women taking up embroidery (nothing wrong with embroidery!) while poor women slave in highly physical work are well behind us. Physical fitness & health should matter to everyone. (I’m aware that I’ve left disabled people out of this. I don’t know much about this space but I know that physical fitness is problematic & often ignored, even when it is possible.) #WomensSport #WomensHealth #Women

First football, now #cycling. This story about two sisters and their passionate dream of competing for their country, #Afghanistan, is inspiring but also depressing.

Depressing because it's full of reminders of what Afghan women (and all those #AFAB) are up against. Inspiring because it shows what they can achieve given half a chance.

Under the #Taliban, do Afghan women have even half a chance? That's the question.

Big day for #WomensSport MASSIVE day for #WomensCricket Start of #WPL & I cannot wait. Picked #DelhiCapitals as my team, although #UpWarriorz have the best kit 😉

POV #1 "We shouldn't pay womens teams more because the revenues are a fraction of what the mens teams bring"

POV #2 "That is not how any business (savvy) person would think about a business"

Bottom line? It takes investment in a product to get it to the next level!

Does #FIFA have *no* shame?? But we know the answer to that question already. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/feb/01/fifa-womens-world-cup-sponsorship-deal-saudi-arabia-amnesty-australia-nz #football #Womensfootball #saudiarabia #misogyny #gender #ethics #womenssport #worldcup #Australia #NewZealand

Women's Ski Touring Workshop in the Cairngorms.

"The closer we get to the summit, the harder the wind blows. When it fills the sky fills with tiny ice pellets picked up from the upper slopes, we seek shelter beneath a bank of snow. We have a decision to make. "

“Who and What to Follow Now that the World Cup is Over” by #theathletic
- They say they cover the #NWSL in the 3rd paragraph
- 2 paragraphs later they mention the in-depth coverage of the abuse allegations in the NWSL by Meg Linehan.
So support The Athletic, because they are not shying away from #womenssport coverage.
