Leadership for women in sport who want to lead with clarity, confidence, and conviction — without burning out or shrinking back.
Â
If you’ve ever felt capable but hesitant — confident on the outside but second-guessing yourself behind the scenes — you’re not alone. Leading in sport comes with pressure, politics, and unspoken rules that weren’t built with you in mind.
You're capable. So why does leadership still feel this hard?
If you've ever felt ready on paper but hesitant in the room — confident in your work but second-guessing yourself behind the scenes — you're not alone.
Leading in sport comes with real pressure, unspoken politics, and environments that weren't built with you in mind. That's not a reflection of your capability. It's a reflection of the system.
You might recognise this:
- You hold significant responsibility but don't always feel backed or supported
- You want to speak up — but pause, wondering how you'll be received
- You're navigating the impossible balance of being clear and direct without being labelled difficult
- You're leading well on the outside, but exhausted by the effort it takes
This isn't a confidence problem. It's a context problem. And it's exactly what She Rises in Sport is designed to solve.
 THIS PROGRAM ISN'T ABOUT CHANGING YOU
She Rises in Sport isn’t about becoming louder, tougher, or someone you’re not.
She Rises in Sport isn't about becoming louder, tougher, or someone you're not.
It's about leading as yourself — with the language, frameworks, and support to do it effectively in the real sporting environments you work in every day.
You already have the capability. This program helps you use it with confidence.
Â
By the end of the 6 weeks, you will:
- Trust your judgement and back your decisions — even when the room pushes back
- Communicate with clarity and confidence in meetings, feedback conversations, and high-pressure moments
- Stop overthinking how you're coming across and start leading with intention
- Navigate conflict, tension, and difficult feedback without spiralling or shutting down
- Hold your authority without hardening — and your warmth without being dismissed
- Feel genuinely clear about the leader you are and how you want to show up

WHY THIS MATTERS
Â
When women lead with clarity and confidence, sport becomes a place people want to stay, grow, and belong.
But this isn’t just about representation or being “at the table.”
It’s about you:
- Feeling confident backing your decisions
- Speaking up without second-guessing yourself
- Leading in a way that feels sustainable, not exhausting
Because when you lead well, with confidence and conviction, the ripple effect reaches your team, your organisation, and the culture around you.
Why learn with me?
I’m Mon — a leadership and communication coach with over 20 years’ experience across professional sport, media, and high-performance environments.
I work as an international MC across major sporting events and high-pressure stages, and I was honoured to be named 2025 Runner Up – Women Changing the World Awards for my work advancing gender equality in sport.
But titles aside, what matters most is this:
I’ve spent my career inside the systems women are navigating — AFLW, Super W Rugby, A-League Women, Football Australia, Member Federations, and community sport — supporting women to lead with confidence in environments that weren’t built with them in mind.
I understand the nuance.
I understand the pressure.
And I’m deeply f#*king committed to changing how leadership support shows up for women in sport.
My approach is practical, playful and human. We do real work, have honest conversations, and use tools you can apply immediately — without jargon, ego, or pretending leadership has to look one particular way.
This isn’t about fixing you. It's about supporting you navigating a broken outdated system.
