You were an athlete during a time when women sports were not recognized as much as they are now, describe your experience growing up as a female athlete compared to what you see today.
Oh man, what I wouldn’t give to have all the great clips, footage and social media coverage of today back when I was playing field hockey, basketball and track in high school. I would have been even more of a showboat! And the NIL money in college? With the mouth I’ve got on me and my sense of humor I would’ve been raking in the cash promoting local businesses! In all seriousness I had an incredible time participating in sport without all the fanfare, but I so envy how girls growing up today have so many examples of professional athletes and leagues to be inspired by and to consider as a possibility after college. I hope the great coverage, big money endorsements and respect at the highest-level trickle down to more opportunities, resources and support for young girls in sports, too.
