As with any industry, but particularly in athletics, there is distinct value in investing in purposeful platforms that uplift strong female perspectives and continue broadening what participation and progress looks like for all. The lifelong impact of teamwork, collaboration and confidence learned through sports are transformative in the life of an athlete, and we are thankful our partners at Under Armour share our vision to extend these lessons further among female athletic programs.”
