The Unsung Heroes: Mentors in Women's Sports

Welcome back to another empowering episode of Fearless and Fierce, hosted by Abbigail Brown. This month, we spotlight the transformative impact of mentorship in women's sports. From Keeley Jones managing a Women's Premier League team in "Ted Lasso" Season 4, to Crystal Dunn's new nonprofit mentoring young black coaches, we're seeing big moves and powerful voices shaping the field.

The episode dives deep into the vital role of mentors—coaches, teachers, role models—who craft the leaders of tomorrow. With insights from groundbreaking studies, we uncover how mentorship doubles the likelihood of girls staying in sports through their teens, tripling their chances at leadership roles.

Through inspiring stories of legends like Billie Jean King, Alyssa Nakken, and Simone Biles, discover how mentorship is not just a guiding hand, but a catalyst for change, helping athletes face challenges and redefine success on their terms. It's a celebration of those who believed in others before they could believe in themselves.

Join us as we honor individuals who teach us that growth starts with belief—one mentor, one moment at a time. Together, let's keep the cycle alive, ensuring every girl can see and seize her potential.
