As all women combat sports are increasing in popularity and numbers, the priority to get these sports recognized as main stream has become a priority.

Cheryl Ragsdale shared a link with us that may help to expand exposure of combat sports, and has benefits for those female athletes looking for opportunities to expand their careers.

The Women’s Sports Foundation represents over 100 sports and thousands of athletes to help spread about their careers, and to encourage more participation. Two major things that fighters maybe interested in:

• There is a grant fund for amateur female athletes to travel around the world to compete.
• Their speakers bureau lets athletes share their stories to different places around North America, offering a stipend to those who speak.

There is also a lot of educational material to help spread the word on why more women should participate in sports. They also have events, award ceremonies, and the contacts that will help promote combat sports.
