My story
Before 2021, Sapir seemed just like any other sports-mad young Israeli. Her passion for soccer led her to join the Israel Football Referees Association at the age of just 17, where she started out officiating in the second division National League, before moving up to referee in the Premier League.
But, despite thriving in this high-pressure role that demands absolute confidence and strength of character, Sapir felt like she constantly had to hide who she really was.
My Background
A little background
Her historic decision to transition in the public eye, and especially in a macho, male-dominated sports world, changed the game forever. Suddenly Sapir’s story was everywhere.
It was a turning point, not just for Sapir herself, but for countless other people struggling with big decisions.
As one of Israel’s top referees, who knows the rulebook inside out, Sapir also knows when it’s time to stop playing by other people’s rules and simply be yourself. This is the key, not only to personal peace of mind, but also to improving your performance (at work, at school, on the pitch) and fulfilling your dreams.
