There are still a few issues of equality - not often, but I am sometimes given the impression that as a woman I cannot possibly have the skills men doin the same role (or less) do not have.
The main issue has been one of jealousy - usually from younger males, usually in a club environment -its led me to leave 2 triathlon clubs. Overcoming it hasn't always been easy, but I have found to try not to let it bother me and being myself and follow my own path and be confident in what I am doing and how I do it.
Be yourself, have confience in your ability.

Strong, independent and inspiring women like the ones I surround myself with in Triathlon!
Confidence, I come across a lot of women that struggle with confidence to strive for their goals. It's something I've experienced myself!
Having the confidence to strive for my goals, I've feared failure and judgement, but in surrounding myself with a network of women who haven't been afraid to strive my confidence has grown.
Yes, find your support network and support other women in achieving their goals by being that 'champion' to another woman!
