Women in Sport and Wellbeing: Breaking Barriers in 2025

Women’s sport is on fire in 2025. From record-breaking viewership to game-changing pay deals, female athletes aren’t just competing—they’re dominating. But it’s not just about sport. Across health and wellbeing, women are making powerful moves to prioritise themselves like never before.

The Rise of Women’s Sport

2024 was a landmark year for women’s sport, and 2025 is shaping up to be even bigger.

• The UEFA Women's Champions League Final between FC Barcelona and Olympique Lyonnais drew an unprecedented 60 million viewers worldwide, smashing all previous records.
• The 2024 Paris Olympics became the first fully gender-equal Games, proving that women’s sport isn’t just catching up—it’s leading the charge.
• The WNBA’s rising popularity has driven bigger sponsorships, higher salaries, and inspired more young girls to take up basketball.

Yet, despite these wins, the fight for equal investment, media coverage, and pay continues. While top players are earning more, 88% of Women’s Super League (WSL) players in England still make less than £18,000 per year—a fraction of their male counterparts' salaries.

The momentum is here, but real change depends on:

• Increased investment in grassroots and professional women’s sport
• More media coverage to spotlight female athletes
• Greater fan support—because every ticket, view, and share matters

Women’s Health in 2025: No More Ignoring the Signs

Women are prioritising health and wellbeing like never before. From cervical cancer screenings to routine mammograms, awareness is rising, and appointments are more accessible than ever.

But many women still delay essential health checks due to busy schedules or fear.

Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore:

• Unusual lumps or swelling in the breast
• Changes in skin texture or dimpling
• Persistent pain that won’t go away
• Irregular periods or sudden weight loss

If something feels off, don’t wait—early action saves lives.

From Burnout to Balance: The New Wellness Mindset

Forget the hustle culture of the early 2020s—wellness in 2025 is all about balance over burnout. Women are choosing long-term health over quick fixes, redefining self-care with sustainable habits:

• Less caffeine, more hydration – because energy drinks won’t fix exhaustion
• More movement, less punishment – exercise should be joyful, not guilt-driven
• Smart nutrition, not fad diets – supplements and whole foods that actually work
• Mental health without stigma – therapy is self-care, not weakness

It’s not about doing more—it’s about doing what works for you.

Women Leading the Way

Beyond sport, women are making waves in business, leadership, and innovation. Female entrepreneurs, CEOs, and changemakers are pushing industries forward, proving that success isn’t just possible—it’s inevitable.

The future of women’s sport, health, and leadership? Unstoppable.
