Coming to the end of this Series and our portion of 'The Long Road Up', we have guests who can share, not only perceptions of the journey thus far, but most importantly the way forward. Their perspectives focus on progress and obstacles in the racially diverse USA and giving an overview of the 'super continent' of our planet: Africa. Gabarone Botswana is the 2018 site of the next meeting of the global women's sport advocacy community at the World Congress of the International Working Group of Women in Sport. You will want to know more and make plans to attend.

From The Podcast

Women and Sport: The Long Road Up

Women and Sport: The Long Road Up traces the pathway of women’s place in sport from the 1950s when girls and women were limited to play days, milk and cookies after “light competition,” to the impact of some of the most driven, talented, and charismatic figures who re-defined and transformed sport itself. Few people know these incredible women. Let’s make them friends of ours!brbrYou will learn how the human spirit can overcome virtually anything if the will is present along with the talent. We can learn it is never “too late” or “too hard” to discover an inner athlete and to keep moving on our own life commitments.brbrWe trace historical roots, examine strategies to get new women’s sports into Olympic and collegiate programs, how women overcame discrimination, bias, and hate, finding the excitement, joy and lifelong mentors and colleagues along the way and finally we speculate about what lies ahead.
