Women’s Sports Foundation CEO Danette Leighton and Vice President of Advocacy Sarah Axelson join Sarah to talk about the focus of the WSF post-50th anniversary, why understanding the “plumbing and infrastructure” of women’s sports is so necessary right now, the unbelievable participation disparities that still persist in youth sports and a call to action for folks who want to support women's college sports. Plus, the puck is dropping on the PWHL playoffs, sports stars who shined at the Met Gala and a guest reviewer calls out Ironman for going backwards.
