This episode explores the challenges faced by women in sport, motivation, inspiration, and playing sport at Loughborough. Emma and India talk about their own experiences as well as sharing advice for those looking to pursue a career in sport.

Emma reflects on common misconceptions of women in sport and said: “I think people kind of assume that it’s easier but actually the physical demands are very much the same. I don’t think people realise that actually to be good at a sport is equal for everyone and I think no one works harder.”

India added: “I think the misconceptions about females in sport links to there not being the same amount of media coverage as males in sport and lack of funding, which means that there’s less females going into sport because there’s not as many opportunities.”

Let’s Talk Loughborough is available to listen to on all mainstream podcast platforms including Apple Podcasts and Spotify. It can also be viewed on the University’s YouTube Channel.
