Emma Hayes: Former Chelsea boss speaks out on importance of female role models to address the lack of women in coaching roles

Data dump time! so Emma Hayes is all about creating female role models and mentorship programs for young girls & women in football... 73% of respondents to a survey by the International Centre for Sports Studies said they'd be more likely to get involved in football if there were more female coaches... gaming is a big part of this - the latest Football Manager game has seen a huge surge in audience, especially among females! 25% increase in women playing the game compared to last year... fully-funded training courses and mentorship programs could be key to inspiring a new generation of coaches... Hayes is working with Xbox & Sky Sports to promote their initiatives... stats: 85% of women who play football say they'd be more likely to stay involved if there were more female role models

I'm not surprised Emma Hayes is talking about this stuff... it's about time someone in a position of power spoke up about the lack of female representation in football coaching. The fact that women are already coaches in lower leagues and need more support to get to the top is just a reality check, you know? And what's with the gaming thing? Like, I'm all for it being a way to introduce people to football, but let's not pretend like it's gonna magically solve the problem of sexism in sports. It's a start, I guess...

I'm so down with this! A female coach at the top of US Women's national team is still a huge deal and it just goes to show that women in football are making strides . But, for real, we need more girls to see themselves in these roles . Can you imagine how inspiring it would be to have a female role model who's crushing the game like Emma Hayes? I'm loving this idea of gaming being used to get more women into football . It's all about accessibility and visibility, you know? We need more funding for training programs and mentorship opportunities so that young girls can see themselves as part of the game too . Let's get more women into coaching roles and break down those barriers !

I gotta say, Emma Hayes is totally right about this . I mean, we need more female role models in coaching, period . It's not just about inspiring the next gen of players, it's about creating a pipeline of talented women who can take on leadership roles and shape the game from within .

And let's be real, gaming is a total game-changer (no pun intended ) here. The fact that they've added a women's football feature to Football Manager is huge . Now we just need to get more young girls and women into the game, and then see who wants to take on coaching roles .

I mean, it's not rocket science - we just need to create more opportunities for women in coaching, and provide them with the support and resources they need to succeed . And if gaming can help drive interest in the sport, all the better . Let's get behind this initiative and make sure that future generations of women have every chance to pursue their dreams on the pitch ️!
