23 - Elizabeth Emery talks about the tangled web of issues in women's sports

Elizabeth Emery is a former pro cyclist and host of Hear Her Sports podcast. For almost 8 years, she's interviewed female athletes and women in sports about breaking barriers, speaking up, and living with power and confidence in today's changing world.  Her Notes from the Sidelines: It's a tangled web of issues in women's sports. Until women get in positions of power at athletic companies, the gear won't be designed and made to properly fit and honor women's bodies and needs. Lessons she's learned from her guests: In order to get more women's sports on air, when women's sports are available to watch , we must tune in. Women need to serve on boards and be CEOs. Let's buy merch!  Sports is a mirror for what's happening in the real world; it lets us talk about issues, like equity. Involvement in physical activity is an opportunity to learn about ourselves: our feelings about competition, beating someone, losing, being overpowered, and when the competitor is younger. It's less about being a gracious winner and more about how you be a good competitor without being a jerk and about being a good teammate.
