Open discussion on ideas for evaluating

success of measures & interventions

Some points to debate: • Who has better data / where can we source more illustrative

data regarding the number of elite coaches globally?

• What measures and interventions are in place in your organisation / sport to increase number of women coaches?

- What can we learn from these strategies? • What can you put into place in your own individual countries

to improve the representation of women coaches?
