UY Season 2. Episode 4: Kick like a girl & Box like a woman – Breaking stereotypes in male dominated sports with Stacey Copeland.

Our guest Stacey started playing football and boxed from the age of 7. She signed to play in the women's premier league at aged 15, and ever since she’s dedicated her whole life to elite level competition, represented the United Kingdom in both of those sports. She has competed as a footballer for the National English team and competed as a professional boxer. Our guest has also won a European silver medal and National Championship as a professional & she won a Commonwealth title.

Stacey talks to us about finding her tribe when it came to football and how she pursued her passion being a footballer, as well as the struggles she’s faced playing with the boys and not being able to box because she is a female. Stacey delves into her sporting journey and how much this has shaped her character and considerations into being more inclusive for future generations. Stacey takes pride in paving the way for girls and boys to follow their passion in sport with support from the right people.
