Madrid, February 14, 2025.- The Higher Council of Sports (CSD) and the British Embassy organize on 21 February 2025, starting at 10:30 hours, a talk on “Women’s Leadership in Sport”. This activity is part of “Ambassador for a Day”, a program organized by the British Embassy that gives 15 young people from all over Spain between 16 and 18 years of age the opportunity to become ambassadors for a day and that, this year, seeks to empower women’s leadership among the youngest through sport.

The round table will include institutional representatives of the CSD; the paralympic cycling coach of the Royal Spanish Cycling Federation, Begoña Luis; the psychologist of the High Level Athlete Care Program (PROAD), Sandra Tabasco; and the winners of the Ambassador for a Day program. During the conversation they will present their proposals to improve women’s leadership in sport.

After the round table, a visit will take place to the facilities of the Sports High Performance Center of the Sports High Council to learn about the momentum of equality through public policies. During the visit, the accredited media will be able to talk to some members of the CSD, representatives of the British embassy, athletes of the high-performance centre, as well as to chat with some of the young women participating in this program.
