Abstract
Play-based learning is an sports approach that uses play as the foundation for meaningful learning experiences. Key findings highlight that societal expectations, inadequate support systems, and structural discrimination significantly deter women from pursuing careers in professional sports. Recommendations are offered to promote inclusivity, including grassroots engagement, increased funding, mentorship programs, and media representation.Despite increasing awareness and advocacy for gender equality in sports, female athletes continue to face significant challenges ranging from gender stereotypes, unequal access to resources, lack of media coverage, and limited sponsorship opportunities.
