Own Your Sport

Every month on these pages we celebrate sportswomen who have reached the top of their game – often against overwhelming odds. But the world of sport is so much broader than the elite athletes who compete at the highest level. There are also the support crews who put in the hours off camera to keep athletes in peak performance shape. And there are the weekend warriors – the ordinary women who may never wear green and gold on the international stage, but who have no less passion for their chosen sport. Just like top athletes, these women have to face an additional opponent whenever they step onto the field or track or course: doubt. So this month, two successful women are here to tell you that neither self-doubt nor the scepticism of others should hold you back. You deserve your spot. Own it.
