Frauen im Profisport

HCD players and a mental coach talk about their everyday life in a male-dominated sport.

EXPERIENCE | Conversation

The Kulturplatz asks the exciting question of why women enter male-dominated sports. Most of the time, they are strong, personal motivations, such as passion, challenge, equality or career opportunities.

The topic is discussed in conversation with HCD players Oona Emmenegger, Renée Lendi, Sandra Schmidt and Chief Education Officer Tina E. L. Dyck.
