ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book provides sport stakeholders with the knowledge to engage a more sophisticated analysis and thus more adequately addresses the multiple, complex and intersecting barriers that prevents the change. The Ecological-Intersectional Model provides the strategies for change from the individual, interpersonal, organizational and the socio-cultural levels. The voices of women coaches and coach education leaders around the world were also represented as these individuals navigated the labyrinth. While research about women coaches around the globe is uneven and mostly focused in a handful of Western developed countries, the challenges faced by women coaches are similar despite very different organizational and socio-cultural environments. The individual and interpersonal strategies are written from the perspective of what an individual coach or group of women coaches can do. Strategies at the interpersonal level should provide women opportunity for support, networking and mentorship.
