“Think about the words you use in sport; as a coach, a leader or a mentor, the language you choose to use can make a huge difference.” Founder Jos Dirkx at Beyond Sport, Johannesburg, 2014.

At Beyond Sport 2014, Girls and Football SA founder Jos Dirkx spoke about best practices regarding the inclusion of girls and young women in sport and ways in which to work with boys and young men. Also present during the panel on Inclusion in Sport were CEO Drew Chafetz from love.fútbol and founder John Wroe from Street Child World Cup.

The conversation took a deep dive during round-table workshops, during which all participants had the opportunity to ask questions and share ideas.

It was genuinely a fantastic opportunity and Girls & Football SA is very grateful to have enjoyed the opportunity to participate and to speak in this very important session. Thank you!
