This session will discuss gender inequity and its impact on life-long participation and athletic achievement. In an interview-style discussion with Nadia Popov, former Canadian Rugby Player, You Can Play Ambassador and future doctor, this session will focus on her experiences with sport and gender inequity at all levels – from the grassroots to high-performance. As an accomplished female athlete, Nadia will discuss how she achieved success in her sport, what hurdles she had to overcome, and what she believes the future in sport requires to ensure more equitable participation and opportunity.
