When someone has paper published or wins an award or gets promoted you only see the final success. You don't see the earlier rejections, revisions and setbacks. You might assume they found it easy but that is rarely so. @sylviaduckworth

A reminder that much of being a woman in sport is spending large volumes of your time fighting problems you didn’t create and battling mediocre people who don’t deserve to have power.

“The structures of football need tearing down”
Sounds like a battlecry for separate governance of women’s football to me! 👀
‘This is systemic. The structures of Spanish football need tearing down. The structures of football need tearing down. And Spanish football does not exist separately from society.’

I'm still a bit overwhelmed by this honour, so I'm going to do a proper thank you thread when I'm a bit more composed. But thank you to everyone who has passed on your congrats, they have all meant a great deal to me and are making it a very special moment for me (and my mum!)

Female footballers never, ever have the luxury option of "concentrating on the sport". It is exhausting, but it also means that those in power can never just assume that those women will "shut up and play".

Good luck @JodieNeville - excellent presentation and can’t wait to hear more about where your research takes you.
Really interested to see where Jodie’s research goes from here as she looks to uncover histories of women coaching in football #BSSH2023
