The Movement Movement, Issue 00

The Movement Movement are here to shake up the sports publishing space for womxn. Currently, it’s out-of-date, it’s male-orientated, male-organised, and in short, it’s less than we need.

We are a new independent magazine and inclusive space for all women and non- binary people to celebrate movement in all its forms, from professional sport to whatever ways we move in our everyday lives.

This magazine is built to change the male-focused, perfectionism-obsessed narrative around sport and to give women the platform to tell their own stories on movement – whatever it means to us – for the first time in the indie mag space.

In this issue:

Our 00 issue is an exploration of sport and movement by women voices across the globe. At The Starting Line, we celebrate starting anew, starting from scratch and re-starting all over again; something that rings true to all of us – athletes, sports-doers and those who identify as neither – following a couple of years like no other across the globe.

This issue explores body image, disability, chronic illness, winning, losing, solitude and togetherness, leaning into the dualities that make sport and movement all that it is. Our cover story features England Rugby & Saracens player, Poppy Cleall, alongside her first person account on starting again following the postponement of the Rugby World Cup.
