THE PERCENTAGE of female coaches in the UK has fallen sharply by 6 per cent since 2022, according to a new report.
A nationwide survey conducted by YouGov and published by professional association UK Coaching revealed women represent just 38 per cent of active coaches, down from 44 per cent two years ago.
Women are more likely to coach what the study calls “creative” sports like dance and yoga, while male coaches are more likely to lead team sports, racquet games and combat sports.
