Pacific Women Leaders in Tennis Workshop
Recently, I stumbled upon an article that caught my eye. It was about a leadership program called the Pacific Women and Girls in Tennis – Emerging Leaders workshop. This amazing event took place in Fiji and brought together eleven talented women from the Pacific region to learn, grow, and connect with each other. The workshop is part of Tennis Australia’s broader mission to empower women and girls in tennis. It’s all about creating opportunities for them to develop their skills, build confidence, and become leaders within the sport.
In recent years, there’s been a growing trend of women taking center stage in various sports, including tennis. Initiatives like this workshop are crucial for fostering a more inclusive and supportive community within the sport.
