That's not the only person that I am. I'm my own individual. So I think it's definitely, that word, it makes me crawl out of my skin, truly. I think it always has. But I do feel like we are doing a great job recently of redefining that word.
There has been so much female empowerment around, whether that's the NFL, women in sports. Now I feel honored. I try to. We're getting there.
We have to. By the way, how many amazing women have you met in the Eagles organization? Probably each other's best friends.
And why that word has a negative tone to it, it's like these women are the backbone of these athletes. Yes. And they are making everything else spin so that they can focus only on their career and being successful in the field. So they should be praised for that. Right. It shouldn't be anything negative. And they're holding down the fort, having babies during season, you know, taking all that is –
That in itself is a full-time job.
Off-season is so short for them. And it's not like they just get to turn off.
In the two weeks. Yeah, exactly. But, I mean, honestly, I've met so many amazing women in the NFL. I mean, some of my truly best friends for life. And the families that come together. Like, the word wag has been – now I love it. Now when people call me that. But I remember when I first met Kyle, I was like, oh, please don't call me that. I hate that word. Stop.
It also puts a ceiling on you almost. And I kind of found that when I first started this whole thing. It was almost like some people think that I have an advantage because of Kyle, but I really do feel like in the industry it's been a disadvantage for me. I was going to say, I feel like you were probably dismissed. Strongly, actually. Very much so. Because it's like, oh, she's just a wife.
She's just trying to have a hobby. A hundred percent. Or she's just crafty. I hate that word. Crafty. Like, this isn't seventh grade home ec. She's doing DIY projects in her living room, it's fine.
And you can't have a life of your own outside of that.
I think you get lost so easily in that. And that was what was hard for me when I moved out to California. I left all my... I'm from New York. All my friends and family are from New York. I didn't know a single person out in California. I had to leave my job. So now I'm living in California, just moved out there. He has a full slate schedule. And I'm like, well, who am I?
Yeah. And that defines you and that's all you are. It's so archaic.
Because that's not the world we live in at all. But for some reason in the athletic world, that's how people view things. females in it. I also feel like it's a very team by team thing in the sense where a lot, some teams do such a good job at bringing women together.
And I think that is what's so important. We came to the 49ers eight years ago and it was a completely clean slate. They had just hired Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch. So I think it was like a really challenging year because there was not that like vet on the team. There was no leadership.
You need a community to lift you up on a different end.
When we first came out to the 49ers, I had never, and to be fair, I was in college when Kyle was with the Ravens. And they were a great organization to Kyle. I had never really met anybody. And when we came to the 49ers, Kyle Shanahan throws a party with a 53-man roster at his house. And I was like, we're meeting the head coach? I've never met the head coach. We're like at his house.
And that starts the year off on the best tone. It's like, it's with all coaches. It's so family oriented. And he learned it from his dad. His dad did that and it's just passed down to him. But it is the best thing ever. And it starts the year off on the right note. Because I have always found that the organizations that really put the families first are the most successful organizations.
Because if you're not happy at home, if you're a player and you're coming home to a miserable wife. Guys, happy wife.
This is not difficult. Happy team. But it's so true. Those are the most successful organizations. I think we just solved something.
Oh, 100%.
