But Why Are We Still Getting Sport So Wrong? | Myths, Misogyny & the Stories Women Aren’t Telling

In this episode, Kristin and Laura are joined by Amy and Jen to unpack their latest books Myths of Sport Performance and Women Working in Sport. From gender bias in coaching to the emotional toll of surviving male-dominated spaces, we explore: • Why performance myths won’t die — and who profits when they stay alive • The gap between academia and social media “truths” • What’s missing from mainstream conversations about equity in sport • Pregnancy, performance, and invisible barriers • Why women still leave sport — and what happens when we stay It’s part myth-busting, part storytelling, and all truth. Because women working in sport are not new — we’ve just never been listened to. Socials/Links: https://linktr.ee/butwhy.pod Myths of Sport Performance: https://www.sequoia-books.com/catalog/sport/
