Imagine a world where all young people, regardless of their gender, had access to the same opportunities.

Troy Vincent Sr., who was an all-star in the National Football League, is now the executive vice president of football operations for the NFL.

And he had access to the opportunities that led him down the path to football fame.

But as he shares in his talk, the reality is that for many young people, especially young women, the dream of becoming a professional athlete vanishes all too soon.

He asks us to consider what it will take to get sports to a place where the playing field isn't just metaphorically level, but literally accessible to all.

That was Troy Vincent Sr.

speaking at TED Sports Indianapolis in 2025.
