EMPOWERHER offers the same valuable content and coaching as  EMPOWERING ATHLETES with a focus on female athletes and the unique struggles they face in the world of sports.  Female athletes often face distinct challenges and barriers. A strong, positive mindset helps them overcome societal expectations, build resilience, and maintain focus. It fosters confidence, enabling them to push their limits and strive for excellence. Cultivating a powerful mindset and exceptional mental strength can lead to unparalleled success, allowing female athletes to overcome numerous obstacles and push through adversity to achieve greatness.

​

These challenges can significantly impact female participation and success in sports, highlighting the need for targeted efforts to promote gender equality and support female athletes.

  • Females and males are often socialized differently, with males being encouraged to be competitive and females to be cooperative, which can impact their approach to sports. 

  • Perceptions of females as less athletic or competitive can lead to reduced opportunities and lower expectations in sports. 

  • Females may face fewer opportunities to participate in sports, especially in certain areas or at certain levels, compared to males. 

  • Female athletes are often underrepresented in sports performance research, leading to biases in sports medicine, injury prevention techniques and policy decisions

  • Female athletes have unique health considerations, such as hormonal fluctuations during the menstrual cycle, which are often overlooked in research and training, but can greatly impact training and performance
  • Female sports programs may receive less funding and resources than male programs, leading to disparities in facilities, equipment, and coaching

  • Sports media often focuses more on male athletes and male sports, further perpetuating the idea that sports are primarily for males. 

  • Some females may experience pressure and social isolation simply because they choose to play a sport. ​

  • Female athletes are often portrayed through a lens that emphasizes their physical appearance rather than their athletic abilities, marginalizing their achievements

  • Females are more than 3 times as likely to drop out of sports by age 14 compared to males
