Body image is a bit of a taboo topic in sport but I can happily say rugby has made me the happier, healthier, stronger version of me. A little bit about my own body image struggles ⬇️
Receiving this message today made me realise why I decided to open up about my own body image struggles. I think the younger we can encourage these conversations the better. So much respect for this family of young female rugby players ☺️❤️
Because we all look different.. sport doesn’t mean you have to look a certain way. I have lost count of how many times over the years I have been told I shouldn’t play rugby. support your daughters, sisters, nieces, friends. We play the sport because we love it

Just want to say thank you to everyone who commented/sent positive messages after my video. I’m honestly speechless with the response and never expected it at all! I wanted to share my experience in a raw and honest way and to see that has already helped people is incredible🖤
Enjoyed that one 🤩 we wanted to go out there and play with a smile for our first game and we definitely did! Excited to go again this evening against Canada 🇨🇦
Really delighted to say I have been selected as part of
@TeamEngland

I never would have imagined this happening a few years ago and I’m so excited to be a part of a home games 🏴
Really excited to be joining Harlequins women for the upcoming 22/23 season!
I just want to say a massive thank you to everyone at
@waspswomen
who have helped me achieve what I have over the last few seasons and Wasps will always be a special part of my rugby journey 🖤💛
Such an incredible experience! Gutted we couldn’t bring home a medal but thank you so much for all of the kind messages and support. Playing in front of a home crowd is a memory I’ll never forget 😍
So excited to be selected for the Paris 2024 Olympics as part of Team GB Rugby 7’s team 🇬🇧
Thank you to everyone who has supported me in this journey and made this possible!
It really is a dream come true 🥹
Almost 2 years ago I posted this video and have been posting about my food and body image struggles ever since across my social media platforms. Today is World Mental Health Day and for anyone struggling I want you to know recovery is possible and you are loved 💚

Really excited to have been offered a contract as a GB Sevens player for the 22/23 HSBC World Series season. Feel really privileged to be able to continue training full time and build towards the Paris 2024 olympics 🇬🇧
Heartbroken for the girls💔but they have been incredible over the last 7 weeks. Sometimes sport is so tough but it’s about more then just the win. A record breaking crowd and so many inspired young girls and boys watching from back home, so much to be proud about!🌹
Happy New Year🍾 really excited for 2022! Had the best evening celebrating the last year with my parents. I really couldn’t have done this year without their support 🖤
Olympian 🥹
Whilst I’m still so heart broken we couldn’t bring home a medal, I’m still so proud of myself and the team after a challenging year.
We played in front of over 66,000 people (a women’s rugby record) at the Stade de France and hopefully inspired lots of young girls🫶🏻
After being told I would be made redundant recently and finding lockdown tough, over the moon to have passed my final exam today and am a qualified level 3 Personal Trained 🥳😁
I chatted to the BBC about my own personal journey to now becoming an Olympian and professional rugby player and my issues with body image.

Yesterday was such a tough game in those conditions. Gutted not to come away with the W but so proud of the fight of this team. Credit to a really strong Exeter side!
On to the double header next Sunday 🖤💛🐝
International women’s day💃
If you do anything this year please encourage, support & join the girls & women in your life to chase their dreams.
I’m not sure 9 year old Ellie ever imagined playing for wasps in the premier 15’s without the support around me🖤
Learnt so much from
@James_Rodwell
this season and he’s helped me grow so much as a player in the last 9 months. Incredible coach and person. Thanks Rodders 🙌🏻

Ellie Boatman on her sporting journey, as well as her time at
@GordonsPEDept
. Thank you Ellie!
A very special afternoon going back to the school that encouraged me to pursue my dreams and play rugby.
I gave a talk to a room full of 7-13 year olds in the same hall I used to sit in and also saw my old U11 coach + teacher Mr Lewis!
Thank you for having me
@hallgroveschool
😊
Completely agree! It’s a constant battle between deciding to try and focus on developing in rugby or earning money in a different career.. we are grateful if we are even offered to have fuel covered to training etc let alone actually get paid to play rugby!😬
If the figure in this video is right - getting half of what men get in one game would allow me to train full time for a whole year. It would literally be a dream come true. Women’s sport isn’t even asking for equality, we’re asking for a fraction of that
#WomensSportDebate
Really felt for Fiji last night, what an exciting World Cup and I really do hope they still get through. Can’t help feel some of the decisions were tough but won’t get into that debate!
Playing them on the 7’s series, they always have the best fans who bring such an atmosphere😊
Extremely gutted today, it’s a really hard decision to stomach but thankful for the last year I’ve spent at the club and all the coaches, support staff and amazing friends I’ve made. Thank you Richmond for all your efforts trying to keep us in💛❤️🖤
