I find the impact of athletes such as Caitlin Clark incredibly compelling – both on and off the court! Caitlin Clark's influence extends far beyond the boundaries of basketball – she embodies the magnetic appeal of distinct and varied talent in any arena. Her powerful presence not only boosts viewership but also underscores the significance of raising the profile of women in sports. The surge in viewers demonstrates how one individual can shift industry dynamics and captivate a diverse audience. Similarly to how companies strive to build a varied workforce to foster innovation and leadership, sports benefits from luminaries like Caitlin who infuse the game with new viewpoints and vibrancy. For organizations and talent professionals, Caitlin's journey reinforces the value of investing in diverse capabilities. Such investments can drive expansion and transform sectors—mirroring Caitlin's role in redefining the world of basketball broadcasts. 🤝🏽🏀 #DiversityInclusion #SportsEquity #TalentManagement #WomenInSports #InspirationalAthletes

Women’s Sports in 2023 continues… As a previous athlete, I will admit that I did not pay much attention to all that goes on behind the scenes of sports, but after joining Spalk, I have opened my eyes to the whole world fueling the games we love. In a monumental stride for women’s sports, CBS, ESPN, Amazon, and Scripss inked a transformative broadcast deal that secured the rights to the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) for the next four years. This represents the most significant broadcast deal ever for a domestic women’s sports league. This collaboration between major networks and platforms is a testament to the growing recognition and investment in women’s sports. This landmark deal not only elevates the profile of the NWSL but also reinforces the belief that women’s sports are a force to be reckoned with on the global stage. The deal signifies a new ear for women’s sports. The collective effort to give women a platform is producing tangible results - empowering athletes and captivating audiences like never before. #womeninsports #nwsl

What makes you memorable? Count to 7. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.... What you project in the first 7 seconds that someone meets you is the impression they have of you. Here's what I mean: Recently I attended an off the record conversation with a couple of White House staff. When the event ended, people did the typical thing - introduce themselves then say they'd follow-up about an issue they need help with. Me? I introduced myself to one of the staffers explaining I love women's basketball and had South Carolina Women's team winning in my bracket. He lit up with laughter, and immediately started talking women's basketball with me. How did I know he liked women's basketball? Because he made a brief remark about being from South Carolina and March Madness. Fast forward to last week, that same staffer reached out for my email address to invite me to a White House event celebrating the WNBA championship team. He remembered me from our brief conversation about basketball... 🔥 Don't do what everyone else does when they introduce themselves 🔥 Authentic connection matters 🔥 Use your 7 seconds to your advantage Let's be memorable, friends! 👋🏽 P.S. What tips do you use to leave a great first impression? #networking #creativity #careers #communication

The power of narrative framing in sports and its intersection with race and gender has been underlined in the recent WBB national title game. Despite South Carolina's undefeated season and victory under the leadership of Coach Dawn Staley, media focus revolved around Caitlin Clark, the star of the opposing runners-up team. Critics suggest a bias toward a "Great White Hope" narrative, one that inadvertently sidelines the achievements of Black athletes and teams. This concern has been voiced by academics like Dr. Ajhanai Keaton, who spoke to the MSR about race and gender dynamics and warned against viewing sports through a neutral lens as it can magnify social inequities. What are your views on this issue? Are there actionable steps that media and sports organizations can take to address these concerns? https://lnkd.in/gmcHz69f

Have you noticed the growing interest in women's sports lately? It's truly remarkable. Did you know that the upcoming Paris Olympics will be the first to have an equal number of male and female athletes? And here's another exciting milestone: Kansas City recently opened the first-ever stadium dedicated solely to a women's sports franchise. This begs the question: Could we see the development of separate women’s team sports facilities in the future? I recently sat down with Jim Renne, JLL’s National Director for Sports and Entertainment, Project and Development Services, to discuss the topic. #WomensSports #SportsDevelopment #BreakingBarriers
Are more stadiums on the way for women's sports teams?
