Happy National Girls and Women in Sports Day! #NGWSD
Today is National Girls and Women in Sports Day, an event celebrated on the first Wednesday of every year. Today, women’s sports organizations around the country – from teams and schools to advocacy groups, and media like WomenTalkSports.com are coming together to celebrate the power of women in sport.
I’ve spent my entire life identifying as an athlete, and I will continue my professional path toward empowering women in athletics.
The best way to bring to life the spirit of women in sport is to show you some video. I’ve included some of my favorites below.
HOW TO GET INVOLVED
If you’re a blogger, please participate in the NWLC’s blog carnival today and tweet with #NGWSD
After watching these videos, you believe in women’s sports as much as I do, please ask your Members of Congress to support the High School Athletics Accountability Act, H.R. 458, and the High School Data Transparency Act, S. 1269. Girls across the country are still not getting equal opportunities to play sports or equal treatment when they play. It’s time to end that inequality.
