Fabulous grassroots sporting heroes
AS a football-mad girl, Jade Hannan loved to play – but her team struggled to find other female sides to take on in matches.Jade Hannah, left, is one of ten winners of a competition celebrating those who champion women and girls in sportJade says: “I just wanted the same opportunities my brother had but it was harder for girls.“We concentrate on increasing their skill level and love for the game. It’s not just about goals and winning.
Many of us were told we couldn’t play. We thought there was something wrong with us — but it was society“I think it’s very special for teen girls to see older women enjoying team sports and feeling good about their bodies.”coach Terri Kelly, 60, admits she hated the sport as a young woman — until she met two teenage boys whose lives it transformed.
She set up and runs the Continent’s first ladies-only axe-throwing league and has organised the first International Axe Throwing Federation Grand Slam tournament outside of North America., says: “I got into axe-throwing when my husband Carl and I entered a competition — and I was better than him!“Axe-throwing is such a social sport and brings out confidence in people.
The coach also got sponsorship so they could have a kit with dark trousers after realising that wearing white was off-putting for teens., says: “The girls used to be an after-thought, but what they needed was a leg up, because they have not had the opportunities the boys have enjoyed.
She was nominated by Emma Hatfield, who said: “Harnessing experience from her higher education and research background, coupled with a fierce determination, she has created courses for girls to develop leadership skills and break the mould of thinking sports are no place for women and girls.”“It just goes to show how many people out there care about women’s sport.”
