More Than a Game: National Girls and Women in Sports Day

"I cannot stop thinking about her."

Today is National Girls and Women in Sports Day. We're not celebrating just stats or championships. We're celebrating the moment a little girl looks at the court and sees her own future looking back.

Meet Louise. After a BYU Women's Basketball game, she wasn't buzzing about the final score. She was glowing because she met Sydney Benally. To the rest of the world, Sydney is a star freshman and Big 12 playmaker. To Louise, Sydney is "a Navajo girl like me."

That spark in Louise's eyes? That's the real ROI of women's sports. Not just funding a program. Building proof that girls like Louise belong on that court, too.
