Everyone Watches Women’s SportsTM
New from TOGETHXR—the sports media company that coined the defining statement setting the sports world on fire—this inspiring collection of stories shines a light on the grit, smarts, and determination of record-setting and boundary-breaking female athletes around the world and across sports.
Play It Forward features twenty‑five inspirational stories of badass women from all corners of the sports universe, curated by TOGETHXR, a sports media companyfounded by legends Sue Bird, Alex Morgan, Simone Manuel, and Chloe Kim. From profiles of professional athletes and Olympians at the top of their game to everyday women putting in the work without a crowd, these are true tales of fierce competitors, dedicated teammates, and passionate advocates who are all too accustomed to hearing the word “no.” Each story highlights an inspiring athlete or team who is defying expectations and rebelling against inequality in big and small ways, including:
Indigenous women forming a softball team in Mexico
Older women finding friendship and purpose through competitive swimming
A woman mountain-climbing her way out of oppression in Afghanistan
WNBA players developing a voice for social justice and influencing a pivotal election
Incarcerated women playing soccer to prepare for life after release
