Past, Present, and Future: Entangled Timelines in Women’s Sport
The structures that shaped sport in the late 1800s and early 1900s aren’t just pieces of the past – they live in the present. They show up in hiring decisions, in pay gaps, in the daily experiences of women coaches and officials. The future we imagine will depend on whether we choose to repeat, adapt, or dismantle these inherited structures.
In the sections below, we offer some resources that help trace these connections —to see how the past continues to shape the present and how our choices today will shape the future of sport.
Exploring the Present
Listen to the voices of women coaches and officials in Alberta as they describe their current realities—the opportunities, challenges, and daily negotiations that define what it means to lead in sport today.
