About the Editor
Kanoe Namahoe
I started playing soccer in the early 80s. At that time, the focus was on fun. Player development -- especially for girls -- wasn’t a priority. Most kids didn’t play club. It was expensive and only for the elite players. The same was true for other sports, including basketball, baseball and so forth. Fast forward 20 years. The game had changed. The 99s had won the World Cup and millions of girls were now on the pitch, including my daughter. More women were coaching. Club teams were everywhere. Fun was still the focus, but technical development and teaching strategy had become an equal priority for all athletes. Seeing this type of progress is encouraging, but as we read in today’s Leadership & Development story about the WNBA, there’s still a ways to go in women’s sports. WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert talks about pay equity, the growth of the women’s game and what it will take to drive viewership and revenues. It’s a smart, fascinating discussion you don’t want to miss. How have sports influenced your work? Let me know! And send this link to anyone you think would enjoy this brief.
