Tor studied English at King’s College London and has been involved in the world of sport for her whole life, playing for a team in the Women’s Premier League as well as playing tennis at a county level.

We discuss women’s sport, looking at the reasons why men’s and women’s sports are perceived differently, starting from early in life and going all the way up to the heights of the professional sporting world. Coincidentally, it's also International Women's Day on the day of publishing this episode - it seems like it was just meant to be.

Key discussion points in this episode:

• Growing up as a girl with an innate drive for playing sport
• The influences of society on the support for sport for boys, but not girls
• The challenges faced by women in professional sport
• The role of the Golden Triangle in normalising the female side of all sports
• Should the male sports teams be responsible for promoting women counterparts?
• The role of the younger generations in supporting and increasing awareness of the women's side of sports.

What is Getting It?: In a Nutshell

A conversation where we explore topics both familiar and unfamiliar to us to find out what makes them interesting, so that we can expand our horizons and further our understanding of the world and people around us.
From science to lifestyle design, languages to religion, plus everything in between - anything can be interesting if exposed to you through the right lens. We hope to spark your curiosity through open-minded and thoughtful discussion, as well as a healthy dose of overthinking.
