Common sense to have women in top tier sports jobs

Most kids have an idea about what they’d like to be when they grow up and like most, my career plans reflected my interests as a child.

In the early 1990s, as I was approaching the ripe old age of 10, I started to focus on my long-term career plan. I decided there were two main options, manage Manchester United or be an Olympic champion.

Unfortunately, neither of those plans came to fruition. I gave the Olympics a fair lash, competing in three of them but at some point the notion of managing Manchester United faded away.
