23 - Elizabeth Emery talks about the tangled web of issues in women's sports
Description
Elizabeth Emery is a former pro cyclist and host of Hear Her Sports podcast. For almost 8 years, she's interviewed female athletes and women in sports about breaking barriers, speaking up, and living with power and confidence in today's changing world.
Her Notes from the Sidelines:
- It's a tangled web of issues in women's sports.
- Until women get in positions of power at athletic companies, the gear won't be designed and made to properly fit and honor women's bodies and needs.
- Lessons she's learned from her guests:
- In order to get more women's sports on air, when women's sports are available to watch , we must tune in. Women need to serve on boards and be CEOs. Let's buy merch!
- Sports is a mirror for what's happening in the real world; it lets us talk about issues, like equity.
- Involvement in physical activity is an opportunity to learn about ourselves: our feelings about competition, beating someone, losing, being overpowered, and when the competitor is younger.
- It's less about being a gracious winner and more about how you be a good competitor without being a jerk and about being a good teammate.
