Female coaches are being failed by the elite coaching system in New Zealand despite the Breakers appointing a woman to their coaching team according to High Performance Sport New Zealand (HPSNZ).

Statistics show just under 20 percent of High Performance Sport New Zealand coaches over the past five years have been women.
