Insurance for Women in Sport

Whatever stage you are at, forging a career in sport is challenging. For anyone taking part in professional sports, the risk from injury is ever-present, especially on the practice ground. Such concerns bring the need to protect your income and future earnings into sharp focus.

Professional clubs are also concerned about their on-pitch performance if they should be without influential players for extended periods due to injury or illness. This is becoming even more important as the money involved in sports increases.

The rapid growth in popularity of women’s sport has been incredible, so now is the time to consider how insurance can help mitigate the risks faced by female athletes.
