"Genevieve Shore, the PWR chair, emphasized the need for significant changes, stating, 'There is a huge amount of work to do to change everything from perception, experience and pipeline of female coaches.'"
"Susie Appleby, former Exeter Women's head coach, noted the challenges faced by female coaches, saying, 'The support you need is immense. It is quite solitary at times. You get quite isolated, not necessarily by choice.'"
Premiership Women's Rugby will introduce a 10-point plan to boost the number of female coaches at the international level. Currently, only one top-10 nation is led by a woman. The initiative seeks to enhance diversity among coaches, as all head coaches in PWR clubs are men. The plan includes financial investment, training, and development for women in coaching. Research conducted with the Rugby Football Union revealed the need for support and intervention at all levels of coaching to improve the pipeline for female coaches.
