Even though this is a paid membership site, I'm always reading and taking notes and sometimes something I read is so useful that I can't keep it to myself.
In these cases, where I've simply rehashed someone else's work, I'll pop it up for free because all I did was read it, and take notes from it.
Over the next couple of weeks we'll take a look back at 2023 and today starts with all of the free content posted on ART this year, including these 3 articles looking at all various aspects of women's football, including women in football and why we need more of them, specifically in coaching roles at all levels.
#1 - WHY WE NEED MORE FEMALE HEAD COACHES IN FOOTBALL
This post presents ideas from yet another study looking at the current roles of women in coaching roles and also the advantages of doing so.
Highlight - "Female coaches may help steer the youth sports culture away from the usual masculine ethos of sport leadership and organisational structures, especially if they can be valued for their different skill set at club level."
#2 - IT'S TIME FOR 18-A-SIDE IN AFLW
This is an opinion piece of my own where I discuss why AFLW needs to go to 18-a-side and how it would help promote more scoring opportunities for both teams, as well as taking some of the huge advantage the defense has in AFLW at the moment.
HIGHLIGHT - The video clip which is a perfect example of why we need 18-a-side that inspired this post.
#3 - IMPLICATIONS OF YOUTH GIRLS PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT ON PARTICIPATION
These notes come from article I found late last year that takes an exceptional deep dive into various reasons why they drop out of sport of which most of them are out of their control but in the control of those running female sports, and how you can keep them in for longer.
HIGHLIGHT - "Whereas boys get a the testosterone kick and the accompanying dramatic physical improvements, for girls it brings gains in mass and body levers become longer but without the gains in strength to match, and these strength deficits/compensatory changes in movement strategies bring injuries."
