In this episode, Coach Que keeps it all the way real about the disrespect girls’ sports STILL face—less money, less media, less love. Meanwhile, the boys get all the shine. Why? Because the system wasn’t built with her in mind.

Que breaks down how these funding gaps, lack of exposure, and media silence are hurting female athletes—and he ain’t sugarcoating it. This ain't just a money issue, it's a value issue. And we gotta call it what it is. He speaks directly to the coaches, parents, and community leaders: If you say you support girls, act like it. Show up. Speak up. Push for real resources. Because exposure doesn’t just happen—it’s created.

This one’s a call to action for anyone tired of seeing girls left behind. No more excuses. It's time to move.
