WOMEN IN SPORT
“THE IMPORTANT
THING IS TO GET
QUALIFIED, GET
EXPERIENCE
AND DON’T BE
DETERRED”
Transformed:
Hope Powell
helped bring
women’s
football into the
mainstream
“Formal education in terms of coaching is really
important,” she says with absolute conviction. “It upskills
you in the knowledge of the game and allows you to
disseminate all that information appropriately to the age
group of players you’re working with.”
Powell goes on to say that education never stops, no
matter what level of the sport you are at. “The game
evolves so you need to evolve with it,” she adds.
“By continual learning you become better at your trade
and you then become better at dealing with players.
The idea of coaching is how you make players better, so
it’s important to continue upskilling yourself in order to
make you more proficient at your job and to help your
players develop.”
The first tournament England played in the post-
Powell era was the 2015 World Cup, where they caught
the imagination of the nation by reaching the semi-finals
and then beating the mighty Germany in the third-place
play-off. Undoubtedly their greatest ever moment on the
international stage.
She might not have been pitch side, but there can
be no denying the influence Powell had on the team.
If it wasn’t for her, the standards of the female game in
England would be very, very different.
