Sue Anstiss: On the unstoppable rise of women's sport

In this special episode of The Game Changers, to celebrate the launch of ‘Game On’, we turn the tables and Sue Anstiss is interviewed by the rather brilliant Hannah Wilkes from Sky Sports.
In another first, the podcast is recorded in front of a live audience at Leaders Week in London.

Sue shares much about her own relationship with sport, along with the joys & challenges across her career from sports marketing with Gatorade in the 90’s, dealing with redundancy, building a sports PR agency & then launching Fearless Women.

Sue talks about the history & impact of the Women’s Sport Trust, what’s happening in women’s sport right now and what needs to change in the future.

From inequality in pay and board diversity through to investment, visibility and fan engagement, it’s a conversation that addresses so much that’s happening in women’s sport today.

Sue was also shortlisted this week as a Changemaker in The Sunday Times Sportswomen of The Year Awards and is author of Game On: The Unstoppable Rise of Women's Sport. In 2020 she Co-founded the Women's Sport Collective a community network for women working in sport its free to join.
