Images of Us (IOU) Sports Interview with All-American Girls Baseball League Member (Milwaukee, WI)

I'm a student-athlete at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. I'm graduating in May with a BS in Organizational and Public Communication and a minor Recreation Management. I love running most days. Steepling is my forte, or at least I'd like to think so;). My goal is to strive for women's equality in athletics and in life.

Recently I found a wonderful organization in my area (Milwaukee, Wisconsin) that focuses on girls and women in sports. I was under the impression that there was nothing in this area for women in sports, but I was determined to find it. Google search after Google search left me empty handed until I finally stumbled upon Images Of Us (IOU) Sports. I was lucky enough to get a meeting with the cofounder and CEO, Bernell Hooker, where we discussed issues that I have had on my mind and Women Talk Sports has had all over their site.
Bernell gave me the opportunity to use the communication skills I polished at UW-La Crosse to speak with women who are in sports and are influential in the community of Wisconsin. My first assignment: Jackie Mattson Baumgart, a member of the All-American Girls Baseball League. She was one spunky gal! Take a peek at my interview with Jackie on IOU!
Enjoy!
Feel the passion.
Use the passion.
Stephanie
