Quotes:
“Some of my most joyous memories and also some of the hardest lessons that I learned came from sport and it was a way to bring people together. And some of the bonds I formed with my teammates, with my coaches were really lifelong friendships.” (03:42)
“I think we’re at a turning point in women’s sports where we have an opportunity to support women from all backgrounds, and I think it’s really important that we elevate everyone together and it’s not just women from certain countries and popular sports, but really that we tell all of their stories.” (13:09)
“We work with women at the highest level of sport, but really at our base. We’re a community of women change makers who use sport as a conduit to talk about issues that impact everyone.” (16:41)
