10mins - Introduction: Conversation - Gender in Sport. Ask the student to give their thoughts on whether sport should be heavily gendered in the way it is. Ask them whether they think we should have separate male and female teams and tournaments, encourage them to justify their answer. Discuss the fact that women's competitions and leagues almost always specify gender in their names whereas men's tournaments are seen as the 'normal version' of the tournament - e.g Women's World Cup vs The World Cup. Discuss whether or not the student thinks that women are represented fairly and equally in sport in general.
