The Women Talk Sports Team
WomenTalkSports.com was launched by co-founders Jane Schonberger, Ann Gaffigan and Megan Hueter in 2009. As media professionals and athletes, the trio is keenly aware of the challenges facing women in sports. Visiting the myriad of (mostly male oriented) sports sites on the Web, it was clear that women needed a dedicated platform to celebrate their love of sports and the challenges they face. They (and the guys who love women's sports) also needed a forum to exchange ideas, to debate and engage one another.
Mission Statement
With the goal of promoting and empowering female athleticism, WomenTalkSports.com
is an online network that connects the best blogs relating to women's sports.
The site aims to raise the level of awareness of women in sport by providing
comprehensive sport coverage, spotlighting outstanding achievements, and
working with sporting associations on advocacy issues and empowering programs.
