ABOUT

OUR MISSION

In 2023, not one single female athlete broke into the top 200 highest-paid athlete list, globally.


We exist to ensure that by 2030, female athletes represent at least 50% of the highest-paid athletes list.
 

We are driving change by; giving you a platform to elevate your personal brand and express your voice, to increase your commercial value, offering you access to the tools you need to develop your personal brand and drive your commercial value to increase your off-field endorsement income, and providing a safe space to connect with other athletes, industry experts and leading brand representatives, making us more likely to drive change together.


Our Female Athlete Collective members are breaking down commercial barriers and are levelling-up their Endorsement Game.
