‘Sliding scale of sexism’, according to a former football coach who is female, caused her to leave the game.

However, the woman, who has requested anonymity, hopes that her experiences won’t turn off other girls and women.

Her remarks were part of a recent survey conducted by the anti-discrimination organization Kick It Out, which revealed “shockingly high rates of misogyny and violence against female football players.

The study’s findings revealed that 80% of the 115 participants, whose degrees ranged from a Football Association Level 1 to a news license, had encountered misogyny or sexism while working as coaches.

Over 50% of those surveyed stated that they had thought about giving up coaching due to sexism.
