The Power of Women and Sport
Last week, we hosted a compelling conversation about the power of women and sport, featuring Teresa Resch, President of the WNBA’s Toronto Tempo, alumnae Sarah MCLACHLIN Atkins ’89 and Maddie WATTS ’20, BSS parent Susan O’Brien, and moderator Nicole KARKIC ’98.
The discussion opened with a striking statistic: while 94% of women in C-suite roles were athletes, half of girls drop out of sports by age 17. From finding their voice to developing confidence and grit, the panellists shared how sports shaped their lives and why it’s crucial to keep girls in the game. We left energized and more committed than ever to championing girls’ participation in sport!
