Finally up and running....
Hello all,
I’d like to welcome you all to the new Women’s Sports Foundation blog, with which we are looking to build a bridge between the world of women’s sport and you: the reader. In the coming weeks we will be publishing our views on major issues in sport and providing regular updates from governing bodies and their various affiliated teams. We also hope that you, as readers, will to make this a forum for your views – proving feedback on the articles, research and project undertaken by the team.
As well as updates coming from the WSF staff, we are also on the look out for contributors who are willing to provide regular pieces on whatever they see as important issues in women’s sport. We feel that aspiring writers will gain from the exposure and the chance to prove themselves as journalists in the relatively untapped media resource, that is women’s sport.
So who are we? Well, our main site is wsf.org.uk and we have been a vital voice for women’s sport. So far, we’ve achieved a great deal; however, the sporting and social environment is changing and we have to adapt to keep our organisation as relevant as it has been in the past.
Among the writers who we hope will contribute to the blog (hint guys) are the regional staff of the WSF: Katy Storie, Sarah Pickford, Aruna Sharma, Jan Birch; our women into coaching team: Zoe Calder and Brittany Robbins; our National Development Managers: Cassie Smith and Liz Davidson; our research team: Christine Lillistone and Shahana Lais; and finally our Chief Executive: Sue Tibballs. Time will tell who becomes the most active blogger.
We clearly feel that this is the start of a new journey, and phase, for the WSF and we hope that you can join us and provide us with the necessary feedback and information to make this a great success.
Well, um, I guess that’s all I have to say - for now. I look forward to hearing from you and please feel free to post your comments.
I’ll be looking forward to reading your thoughts.
