The Reality of Women in Sports Broadcasting | Not Just Football EP 7

Welcome back to Not Just Football, brought to you by SkyBet!

In this week’s episode, Christine Lampard, Hayley McQueen, and Kelly Cates take you behind the scenes of sports media to discuss their real experiences as women in a male-dominated field. From their first steps into broadcasting to learning the art of negotiating, they share their stories.

They tackle the big issues: equal pay, overcoming stereotypes, balancing career and motherhood, and the pressures that come with being front and centre in the industry. Have you ever wondered what it’s like to navigate a world where, for years, women were judged first by their appearance rather than their expertise? Kelly, Hayley, and Christine break it down, offering insights into how they’ve built their careers and handled the hurdles along the way.
