Jen Coe is dedicated to increasing the visibility of women in sports and promoting well-being across roles in the sporting world. 

She currently works within women's professional football in England as the Performance Well-being Lead across the Women's Professional Game, a role she is very passionate about. 

With over two decades of experience, she aims to nurture a culture of performance through well-being, where individuals can own and enjoy their sport performance journey and transition with confidence.
