Check out this video, via the Women’s Sports Foundation:
Great to see Sheryl’s support, and she has some really great things to say as a former athlete about the opportunities created for her later in life.

I just finished watching Bob Costas’ December 17 show of CostasNow on HBO, where he highlighted the best sports moments of 2008.
