Supporting girls in sport:
Building confidence and participation
How confident do girls feel when they take part in your sessions?
Supporting girls in sport helps coaches and clubs understand the factors that influence confidence, belonging and continued participation. Learn how everyday coaching moments shape how girls experience sport, from how mistakes are handled to how progress is recognised.
You’ll explore the common challenges girls face as they grow older in sport, including social comparison, fear of embarrassment and transitions between groups.
By the end, you’ll understand practical coaching approaches that help girls feel comfortable, capable and motivated to continue participating in sport.
Once you have finished, you’ll receive your Supporting girls in sport action pack, with tools including the confident session check, session confidence planner, coaching language guide, belonging discussion guide and confidence building activity ideas sheet to help you put these ideas into practice.
