"AU opened the door and said 'we want you, we want you to be part of the family', and that meant so much more to me than any award that I've ever won, because they saw something in me that others didn't." Listen to Sheryl Swoopes' powerful story about her resilience through rejection, discovering what her next chapter in the Basketball-world would look like after retiring, and the importance of Athletes Unlimited in her journey. We ❤️ Sheryl... #BeUnlimited #AUSummit24

Listen to Sarah Francis discuss the power of keeping and encouraging girls and kids to start or continue their journeys in sport, no matter the level, with Sandra L. Richards and Laxmi Poruri. Did you play sports growing up? We'd love to hear what lessons you've carried with you, or thoughts around the ways that may have influenced your professional career. #BeUnlimited #AUSummit24

You don't need us to tell you that Sheryl Swoopes is an absolute legend... One of our favorite parts of the AU Innovation Summit, presented by Morgan Stanley and Earlystone, was hearing directly from the athletes themselves. That included both our own AU Pro athletes, and also former professional athletes, like the great Sheryl Swoopes. Listen to Sheryl open up with Sarah Spain about the start of her professional basketball career, and specifically about getting pregnant and having her first child shortly after starting in the WNBA. It hammers home the importance of sufficient childcare policy and the fact that a woman should never have to choose between her athletic career, and her family - it's not either/or...it's both. #BeUnlimited #ChildcarePolicy #AUSummit24

What👏A👏Day👏 The 2024 Athletes Unlimited Innovation Summit, presented by Earlystone and Morgan Stanley, brought all of the energy we needed to close off an exciting opening weekend of AU Pro Softball. Over the course of the next few days, we’ll be sharing more in-depth moments from the conference, but here are just some of our many takeaways: ➡ Institutions are taking this opportunity to meaningfully support women’s sports through athlete engagement, programming and sponsorship, and NIL is a new, but powerful tool for athletes to accumulate long term wealth and financial well being. ➡ Fans of women’s sports are uniquely different from "traditional" sports fans. This difference presents brands the opportunity to connect & engage new and existing audiences in authentic storytelling. ➡ It’s imperative to focus on sustainability in every business decision made as an organization scales. ➡ Media consumption trends are driving and influencing how properties connect with audiences. To be effective, content needs to be platform specific and designed to meet audiences where they are, in the voice they understand. ➡ There’s simply no substitute for sustained and continued investment to drive growth through this period in women’s sports. That said “investment” can take on many forms, from buying your favorite team or athlete’s merchandise, to investment in larger funds and sports properties. ➡ Women athletes are unstoppable. Point blank, period. In short, yesterday was an incredibly impactful day full of sharing, learning, and connecting around the many ways we can continue to grow women's sports, and we’re so thankful for everyone who made the day so special! In particular, a huge thank you again to our sponsors Earlystone and Morgan Stanley. As well as to all of the speakers who made this day what it was — Sarah Francis, Sandra L. Richards, Laxmi Poruri, Elizabeth Lindsey, Keri Lockett, Caroline Fitzgerald, Sheryl Swoopes, Sarah Spain, Hilary Meyer, Cristina Davis McAloon, Mark Litos, Courtney Jeffries, Diane Gotua, Kimberly Veale, Danette Leighton, David Friedman, Ami Galani, Rachel Fleitell, Savanna Collins, Amanda Anderson, Lillian Xu, Alisha Childress, Haylie McCleney, Amber Mckenzie, Cassidy Lichtman, Allie Kleva, and Kim Ng. #BeUnlimited #AUSummit24
