About the research
The Women’s Sports Foundation published Play to Lead: The Generational Impact of Sport on Women’s Leadership on September 9, 2024. Its official introduction describes respondents aged 20 to 80 and examines sports experiences, leadership, and changing barriers to participation.
A starting point for discussion
For schools and families, the topic invites practical questions: Who gets to participate? Who has a chance to speak, organize, or support a teammate? How can adults make those opportunities accessible?
These questions are an editorial reflection, not a summary of specific statistical findings. The report does not evaluate AIWSL, and its mention does not imply a partnership or endorsement.
