Global betting company 1xBet is set to host a special livestream event titled 'She Plays, She Leads' featuring Suo Chapele, Nigeria's first female commentator on Pidgin and chief of the Urhobo people, as part of its initiative to promote online education for women in sports.
The event, scheduled for June 4 at 5:00 PM on the official 1xBet YouTube channel, aims to address barriers facing women in sports while highlighting the importance of digital learning resources in overcoming these challenges.
Breaking Barriers Through Digital Education
As women increasingly take on roles as coaches, managers, team leaders, and athletes in the sports industry, access to knowledge remains a critical factor for success. Online education has emerged as a vital tool that enables women to develop confidence, build careers, and challenge stereotypes in the sports sector.
Digital platforms offer flexibility for women who often balance training with studies or work. This is particularly relevant in environments where resources are limited and social stereotypes affect access to opportunities.
"For young women in Nigeria, societal expectations, gender bias, lack of family support, and limited access to resources can be the most significant barriers. However, many find strength in supportive networks, self-confidence, and resilience," Suo Chapele stated ahead of the event.
Educational Resources for Women in Sports
The initiative highlights several platforms and applications that can help women in sports develop their skills and knowledge:
- Coursera and edX offer courses in sports management, psychology, leadership, and marketing from leading universities
- Women's Sports Foundation provides educational resources about equality in sports and career building
- Sport Learning NI features training modules on coaching and sports education
- Breaking Barriers Academy offers practical lessons from professional female athletes and coaches
- Free fitness apps like Nike Training Club and Strava allow for self-paced workouts and progress tracking
About the Livestream Event
During the 'She Plays, She Leads' livestream, Suo Chapele will share inspiring stories, practical tips, and motivation aimed at empowering female listeners. The event represents a unique opportunity to learn about overcoming barriers in the sports industry.
