Recommendation 14
14
Accepted
Paragraph: 92
Inconsistent knowledge and support for sportswomen's health needs among coaches and teams.
Recommendation
The level of knowledge and support for sportswomen’s health needs varies greatly between individual coaches and coaching teams. There are also wide variations in the adequacy of support across different sports. The national governing bodies we heard from were each taking their own steps to address this. While we support these actions, women’s sport would benefit from greater coordination and sharing of best practice across the sports and exercise sector to ensure that all girls and women receive adequate support from appropriately qualified coaches.
