“Anything is possible when you know what you want to do, and give yourself the means to achieve it”

Meet Nadine Blanchard, a 5-year member of the Swiss weightlifting team turned coach. She is an advocate for promoting more women powerlifters, while studying for her Master's degree in sports management.

DETERMINATION IS KEY

“Hard work is the bedrock of sporting success, particularly in weightlifting, where determination is key. In general, women athletes share an unwavering determination and a clear vision of their goals, ready to overcome any challenge to achieve excellence. For me, anything is possible when you know what you want and you give yourself the means to achieve it.”

WOMEN IN LEADERSHIP

“It is essential that women also aspire to be in leadership positions in the sports industry in order to change norms and make equality a normality rather than an applauded exception. By taking on decision-making roles, women can influence the policies, investments and practices that foster an inclusive and equitable environment for athletes and sport professionals.“
