In 2018, women\u2019s sports received only 5% of dedicated coverage, according to The Guardian.<br \/>\nAnd with 52% of the population female, they are the disadvantaged majority in sport.<br \/>\nMs Balding said: \u201cI think we\u2019ve got to watch what\u2019s on, I think a lot of the time schedulers and influencers are very influenced by numbers so if they put a live football match on or a netball match or women\u2019s cricket match on and see the numbers drop, for what that slot would normally be, they panic.<br \/>\n\u201cBut actually, the exciting thing about putting on women\u2019s sport is you\u2019re appealing to an audience that hasn\u2019t ever been given what it wants. So I think the controllers need to be a bit braver and as an audience we want to be asking for what we want to see.\u201d<br \/>\nBut this isn\u2019t the only issue. Watch Her Go understands that it begins at grassroots level, in schools, communities and families.<br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_34418\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-34418\" style=\"width: 2048px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-34418\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/03\/53224055_253049225641448_626796583601569792_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1536\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/03\/53224055_253049225641448_626796583601569792_n.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/03\/53224055_253049225641448_626796583601569792_n-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/03\/53224055_253049225641448_626796583601569792_n-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/03\/53224055_253049225641448_626796583601569792_n-770x578.jpg 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/03\/53224055_253049225641448_626796583601569792_n-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/03\/53224055_253049225641448_626796583601569792_n-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/03\/53224055_253049225641448_626796583601569792_n-293x220.jpg 293w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/03\/53224055_253049225641448_626796583601569792_n-1400x1050.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-34418\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-34418\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/03\/53224055_253049225641448_626796583601569792_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1536\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/03\/53224055_253049225641448_626796583601569792_n.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/03\/53224055_253049225641448_626796583601569792_n-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/03\/53224055_253049225641448_626796583601569792_n-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/03\/53224055_253049225641448_626796583601569792_n-770x578.jpg 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/03\/53224055_253049225641448_626796583601569792_n-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/03\/53224055_253049225641448_626796583601569792_n-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/03\/53224055_253049225641448_626796583601569792_n-293x220.jpg 293w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/03\/53224055_253049225641448_626796583601569792_n-1400x1050.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/noscript> Panel of influential women in the sporting industry at the event.<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\nMany schools still do not offer rugby and football to girls, still entrenched by the stereotype that they are \u2018men\u2019s\u2019 sports.<br \/>\nLiz Johnson, a Welsh Paralympic swimming champion who won gold in Bejiing 2008, experienced this herself growing up.<br \/>\nShe said: \u201cFor me, my largest challenge was to convince people that with a disability I could still compete and deserved the same opportunities than others.<br \/>\n\u201cI liked football when I was little so I played with the boys.

the lack of sponsorship, pay for female athletes and under-investment into sports for young girls were all raised as key issues.<br \/>\nThroughout the evening, it was clear that body-image and confidence are key concerns which prevent girls from not only doing sport but dropping out early because of insecurities.<br \/>\nJaz Carlin, double Olympic medallist in swimming and first female Welsh swimmer to win a Commonwealth title, spoke on the issue of body-image and confidence.<br \/>\nShe said: \u201cIt\u2019s quite scary really and sad that some girls feel that they can\u2019t do sport because of body confidence or because they don\u2019t feel confident in themselves doing it.\u201d<br \/>\nSince she announced her retirement last week, Jazz will now be working for Swim Wales, mentoring the current Welsh youth squad and promoting the Learn to Swim programme.<br \/>\n\u201cHopefully we can change that mind-set and make girls believe they can and have that confidence to go and achieve anything they want to do and if there\u2019s a sport they want to do they never know what they\u2019re going to achieve,\u201d Miss Carlin said.<br \/>\nThe former American world number one professional tennis player Billie Jean King was referred to several times throughout the night as an inspirational and powerful influence for women in sport, and of course her phrase: \u201cIf you can\u2019t see it, you can\u2019t be it.\u201d<br \/>\nSarah Powell, the chief executive of Sport Wales, said: \u201cWe\u2019re here today for young girls of the future to give them every opportunity to play sports. So, that\u2019s the same opportunity that boys and men have received.<br \/>\n\u201cWe want to raise the profile of sport for women so that means giving greater visibility though the media and in the papers, so that girls can see and believe that they can actually take part in sport.<br \/>\n\u201cWe want to look at how we can get more girls involved around the board table and thinking that they too can be leaders.\u201d<br \/>\nOther speakers involved former international football player Laura Jean McAllister, Jane Hutt AM, former hockey player Beth Fisher, former British rower Annamarie Phelps CBE, breakdance coach and owner Natalie Davies, hockey captain Leah Wilkinson and sports producer Sue Butler.<br \/>\nFor more information, follow the Watch Her Go, Amdani, Twitter page <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/watch_her_go\">here<\/a>\u00a0and use #watchhergo #amdani to share your experiences as a female in sport.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Video created and edited by Will Bolton.
