Three-time WNBA champion and co-founder of the 3-on-3 league Unrivaled, Breanna Stewart, on what win means the most:

Retired track and field star and three-time Olympic gold medalist, Jackie Joyner-Kersee, on the hardest thing she had to overcome:

“The most challenging moments of my career were, one, being diagnosed as an asthmatic and, two, as a freshman in college, losing my mother. I didn’t even know if I was going to have a career.”

📷: Elizabeth De La Piedra for Bloomberg Businessweek

College gymnast and trailblazer for name, image and likeness rules, Livvy Dunne, on navigating how student-athletes can profit from NIL rights:

“There wasn’t a blueprint for what I was doing. I had to figure it out as I went and create a path where one didn’t exist before. That’s something I’m really proud of.”

Professional soccer coach and former midfielder Emma Hayes on how the game has changed since she was a player:

Challenged accepted 🤓

“They didn’t want me on that course. So I made sure they couldn’t ignore me.”

“We didn’t just play to win the game. We played to change the system.”

“You win in the locker room before you ever step on the court.”

“I’m not the next Usain Bolt or Michael Phelps. I’m the first Simone Biles.”

“Pressure is a privilege.”

“If you don’t invest in women’s sports, you are leaving money, and excellence, on the table.”

We know the women who fought to be on the starting line.

The women who demanded equal pay.

The women who built teams, broke barriers, changed rules, inspired generations, and showed us that an athlete is so much more than a highlight reel.

So if knowing sports means knowing the people who shaped them…Yes. We know sports.
