Building Impact’s Post

Since this really is a business platform and most of you are familiar with the word "costs". I can see where this hearing will take Womens Sports fast. Why fund two teams in any school if males really welcomed in women's sports? I'm not advocating this path however from a money management standpoint, a single team policy saves BIG money. I am advocating a return to the more recent traditional separation of male and females in sport. Where are the feminists? https://lnkd.in/gzTMVAD2

⛔ In an alternate reality, Caitlin Clark's talent might never have come to fruition. In the realm of sports, bravery manifests in taking risks—attempting audacious shots, envisioning and executing unexpected passes, and singlehandedly elevating the level of play. It's essentially a declaration: "If you want to challenge me, bring your A-game every single minute." But Caitlin's bravery, for example, isn't solely innate; it's nurtured by her coaches, teammates, and family. Had they discouraged her from taking bold shots or attempting daring passes, the talented Caitlin Clark we know today wouldn't exist. 🔺 As someone who has been both a youth athlete and a coach, I've witnessed how young female athletes are often encouraged to "play it safe" and conform to expectations. I've seen the potential of great athletes dim because of society's inclination for girls to comply rather than excel. 👉 If we aspire to cultivate more athletes like Caitlin Clark, then as parents, coaches, and supporters, we must foster bravery in our young girls in sports. We should allow them to make mistakes, to continuously experiment, and to embrace the possibility of becoming heroes on the field. 🏆 Undoubtedly, women's sports will continue to break barriers and reach new heights. But to truly instigate change, we must do better. Let's empower girls to lead, to carve out new paths for the future of women's sports. #sportsbiz #sports #leadership #growth #empowerment

Tidal waves of change are coming … Are here: #climatechange #generationalwealthtransfer #SDGs #AI I’m raising young people so perhaps I’m more attuned to what is coming up behind our generations. #Gender #identity #race #inclusion #equity #accessibility I’m also a futurist and perhaps I observe differently. What do you see?

Whatever happens tonight one thing is for sure: what happens on that football field won’t stay on the field. Sport is a powerful platform for change. It can capture our attention like few other areas of life do. Our National CEO, and former Matilda, Tal Karp, saw it in her professional football career and we’re lucky enough to see if every day across the Y in our various sports and recreation sites.   When we shift the state of play for women and girls on the sporting field - like our mighty Tillies are doing - we don’t just create change for women in sport. We create change for girls in our playgrounds and women in our workplaces and communities. We change the narrative about what women can do and what we are expected to do. When a girl plays sport, and is admired for her talent, her skill, her grit - it's a game changer. We shift the way the world sees us, and the way that we see ourselves. Now and in the future, let’s show women and girls where they belong - at the Y, on the world stage and wherever they want to be.

Against the advice of the majority of CEOs and Founders, I’m here to tell you my biggest fear about The Fairway. But before I do, I need to set the stage. What if I didn’t dream big enough? Being the first is scary. But no dream was ever realized without taking that initial step. You have to start somewhere. It won’t be perfect. It won’t be for everyone. It won’t be without struggle and failure. But it will *be* because you willed it into the world. Just. Start. Somewhere. Today’s announcement of Jenny Nguyen’s The Sports Bra franchising — with investment from Alexis Ohanian Sr. and 776 Foundation is proof. It is not coincidental or unintentional that our very first Portland Dinner will be at The Bra on June 4th (DM me if you’re interested in attending our almost-sold-out evening). When Jenny and I spoke for her Hype Women podcast episode a few months ago, two things she said have stuck with me (amoung 2,000 others); statements that I believe encapsulate the lived experience of so many entrepreneurs: “All the things I imagined ‘The Bra’ doing in 10 years, we did in year one. And I realized that I hadn’t dreamed big enough.” “Dreaming big is how we got here. And I don’t ever want to stand in the way of something reaching its full potential because I doubt myself — or I don’t think I have the resources.” It is the tightrope walk of a founder: dreaming *just* big enough to get started but not *so* small that you create your own limitations. So, 20 months and 20 dinners into launching The Fairway, I’m here to admit something to all of you: I’m afraid to grow what I’m building with The Fairway past the point where I have direct control. But here’s the even more complicated piece: I’m *more* afraid of standing in the way of my mission achieving its greatest impact. And I know I’m holding us back. I don’t want to scale for scale’s sake — and potentially lose the integrity of what I came here to do. But, maybe this *is* supposed to evolve through the expressions of many, many more women. And what if that turns out to be even better — and bigger — than I’ve allowed myself to dream? Jenny inspires me … … to get out of my own damn way … to dream bigger … to not let fear hold me back … to admit that I can’t do this alone … to accept help So, consider this my Hype Women Bat Signal: I. Need. Help. The Fairway needs to be … … in more cities … for more women … more often And let me put this out into the universe now: I commit to host recurring Fairway Dinners at *every* Sports Bra across the country to fuel the collective power of our two missions with women at our core. Because what if the solution to being afraid to dream alone isn’t to dream a different dream, but to dream bigger, together? I want that for all of us. LFG. #HypeWomen
