S3 Ep2: The Extraordinary Ordinary with boxer Stacey Copeland

Our guest today is Stacey Copeland, a trailblazer in the world of sports and a champion for gender equality in athletics. Stacey Copeland is not just an accomplished athlete; she's a history-maker. In 2018, she became the first British woman to win a Commonwealth title in boxing, a groundbreaking achievement that showcased her incredible skill and determination. Her victory in the 2018 Commonwealth Games in Australia marked a significant moment in women's boxing and garnered attention and admiration for her achievements in the sport.

But Stacey's story goes beyond the boxing ring. As a footballer she represented England U18s, played in an FA cup final and has also played abroad in America and Sweden.

She's also a passionate advocate for gender equality in sports, using her platform to challenge stereotypes and empower women and girls to pursue their dreams, no matter the obstacles they face. Stacey is deeply passionate about making a positive impact through sport and in 2017 she founded the Pave The Way project to challenge gender stereotypes, spark social change and make a difference.
