At San Francisco's Super Bowl Experience, female athletes and sports leaders are getting the recognition they deserve on National Girls and Women in Sports Day. The event is an opportunity to celebrate trailblazers like Simone Biles, Serena Williams, and Caitlin Clark, who have made a lasting impact on their respective sports.
For sports executive Asani Swann, this day is not just about celebrating female athletes but also about promoting equality and access in sports. "We as women have been fighting for a lifetime to be recognized," she said. "It's time to make it a new normal to celebrate the body and the impact that women are making all over the world in the industry of sports."
The event also marked the launch of Brittany Gilman's new book, which aims to inspire others in her field. As a professional athlete and CEO of BG Sports Enterprises, Gilman spoke about her own journey and experiences in the sports world. "It's an honor and it's a big responsibility," she said. "It's meant to be a playbook and guide for anyone who is trying to understand how this business works."
The Super Bowl Experience provided a unique platform for women in sports to come together, share their stories, and inspire others. The event was attended by female college students and student-athletes from Nichols College, who were encouraged to pursue their passions in softball and other sports.
As the sporting world continues to evolve, it's clear that National Girls and Women in Sports Day is an important reminder of the power of sport to build confidence, leadership, and lifelong opportunity. By celebrating trailblazers like Simone Biles and Serena Williams, we can create a more inclusive and supportive environment for women in sports to thrive.
For Swann, who has worked with NBA All-Star Carmelo Anthony since 2009, National Girls and Women in Sports Day is more than just a celebration β it's a call to action. "Women have been making inroads and impacts in sports for lifetimes," she said. "It's time to shine a light on the achievements of women and the progress that still needs to be made."
