Recently we hosted the Women in Sport Panel, where we brought together athletes, leaders, and experts whose insight and honesty made a real impact.
The panels featured words from Nat Panagarry, Paige Williams, Becs Leach, Abigail Hallam, Kate O’Sullivan BEM, Linda Evans, Hannah Quinn, and Tineka Jennings.
Their presence created a space that felt grounded, open, and genuinely inspiring.
Take up space and crush self doubt
Break barriers and trust yourself
The audience played a huge part in that atmosphere. The guests asked thoughtful questions, challenged ideas, and shared their own experiences, turning the event into a proper dialogue rather than a one‑way conversation.
The level of engagement showed how much appetite there is for honest discussions around women’s+ sport, and how important it is to create spaces where these voices are heard.
Each panel speaker brought their own perspective on performance, leadership, health, and the realities of navigating sport as a woman.
The conversations felt refreshingly real and honest, rather than polished or performative.
Owning your identity and self belief
Events like this matter because they highlight the people driving change across sport.
At LUU, we’re committed to continuing this work and strengthening the support for women’s+ sport across our community. This event was a step forward, and it’s clear there’s real momentum to build on.
