PINK CLAW - Empowering women with and through sport

PINK CLAW project wants to empower European women with and through sport. The project aims to create a group of female technicians who can teach a female audience in different “male” activities: Obstacle Course Race, Self-defence, Tactical fitness. The effects of such a choice are positively described in the literature. On the one hand, having a female coach makes it easier for women to practice sports. In addition, the relationship between a female coach and female athletes has many positive implications on an emotional and social level. PINK CLAW is a multidisciplinary project that brings together a set of physical and mental practices, each structured with individual and group modalities. After the training phase and the setting up of the sports areas (2 for each country), multidisciplinary days will be organized in which the participating women, guided by female coaches, will be able to try their hand at the planned activities (Obstacle Course Racing, Tactical fitness, Bush Crush/ Team Building, Yoga Mindfulness, Self-Defense, First Aid). PINK CLAW only has female coaches because they could become role models. women are more likely to identify with a female coach who also acts as a mentor and helps them counter stereotypes by increasing girls' confidence, self-efficacy and sense of belonging.
