Dame Sue Campbell is the Director of Women’s Football at the Football Association. The women’s game has become increasingly popular recently and last year the England team - the Lionesses - made it to the World Cup semi-finals.

Born in 1948, just outside Nottingham, Sue was sporty from an early age, even changing schools to allow her to play football. She became a PE teacher in Manchester and realised how transformative sport could be, increasing self-esteem, motivation and self-belief.

In the mid-1980s, after learning about excellence in sport at Loughborough University and playing netball for England as well as dabbling in the pentathlon, Sue became deputy chief executive (and a year later chief executive) of the National Coaching Foundation, which provided education for coaches at both ends of the spectrum, from parent volunteers to elite coaches.

Ten years later, in 1995, she co-founded the Youth Sport Trust to set up a sports activity programme for every primary school in the country. It was hugely successful: in 2003 only 23% of school children were getting two hours of PE a week. By 2008, this figure had risen to 95%. In 2010, the coalition government cut their funding.

By this time, back at the elite end of the sporting spectrum, Sue was also in charge of UK Sport, where she presided over Team GB's biggest Olympic medal haul in living memory, at the London 2012 games. In 2016, she took her current job as head of Women’s Football at the FA. She has also been a cross-bench peer in the House of Lords since 2008.

苏-坎贝尔夫人是足球协会的女足主任。女足比赛最近越来越受欢迎，去年，英格兰队--女狮队--进入了世界杯半决赛。

苏出生于1948年，就在诺丁汉郊外，她从小就喜欢运动，甚至为了让她踢足球而换学校。她在曼彻斯特成为一名体育教师，并意识到体育可以改变命运，提高自尊、动力和自信心。

20世纪80年代中期，在拉夫堡大学学习了卓越的体育知识，并为英格兰队打过网球，还涉足过五项全能运动，之后苏成为国家教练基金会的副首席执行官（一年后成为首席执行官），为从家长志愿者到精英教练的两端教练提供教育。

10年后，在1995年，她与他人共同创建了青年体育信托基金，为全国每所小学设立了体育活动项目。它取得了巨大的成功：2003年，只有23%的学童每周有两小时的体育活动。到2008年，这一数字已上升到95%。2010年，联合政府削减了他们的资金。

这时，回到体育界的精英阶层，苏也负责英国体育，在那里她主持了英国队在2012年伦敦奥运会上获得了人们记忆中最大的奥运奖牌。2016年，她担任了目前的工作，即英足总的女子足球主管。自2008年以来，她还一直是上议院的一名跨院议员。
