20 Nov 2024
In this episode, I am joined by Stef Zeh and Amy Snow, two remarkable advocates for women in sports. They are the visionaries behind Section Z, a nonprofit organization dedicated to leveraging the excitement of live sports to help girls develop confidence, competence, and collaboration skills. Recently, Section Z unveiled the largest and most inclusive, multi-generational, cross-sectional study about the impact of playing, watching, and attending live sports on girls and women in America.The report is the result of a landmark survey of nearly 5,000 girls and women aged 9 to 75 about their participation and engagement in sports, the largest sample of American girls and women on this topic. In this episode we discussed: Socioeconomic barriers preventing girls from attending (and participating in) live sports events. Section Z’s initiatives to counter these barriers, including transportation solutions and organizing trips to live sports games. Key findings from their recent study, highlighting generational differences, barriers to participation, and societal impact. Statistics showing the importance of sports for personal development and leadership across different socioeconomic backgrounds. Encouraging girls to explore diverse career paths beyond traditional roles. The importance of exposure to various professions and seeing what’s possible through sports. Join us as we unravel the impactful work of Section Z and discuss the importance of creating inclusive and empowering environments for the next generation of female athletes!
