What a year of listening to sport teaches us about equality.
1,000+
voices and perspectives from sport

Equality does not come from treating everyone the same. It comes from designing the playing field so that everyone gets the chance to take part, grow and perform.

“You go first, then I can enjoy the view of your behind.”
Do not fit the woman to the boardroom. Design the boardroom for more perspectives.
Visibility changes more than who we see. It changes what we believe is possible.
Do not bring the athlete back to the offer. Bring the offer closer to the athlete.
The same rules are only fair once they create the same chances.

From listening to changing.
Not deciding for sport what has to change. Discovering together with sport what works.
Golf is the testing ground. Not the end point. Not a blueprint. We use it to ask better questions:
Different sport. Different context. Similar system questions.



From every sport. From every region. From recreational player to elite athlete. From coach to board member. From boy to woman. To see what is unique, and what comes back everywhere.
where it chafes
what could be different
what works
what makes a difference

Listen. Understand. Redesign. Change.
