Play It Forward
How Women Are Changing Sports to Change the World
25 Stories curated by TOGETHXR. Foreword by Alex Morgan, afterword by Sue Bird.
ABOUT THE BOOK:
Everyone Watches Women’s Sports™️
ㅤ
New from TOGETHXR—the sports media company that coined the defining statement setting the sports world on fire—this inspiring collection of stories shines a light on the grit, smarts, and determination of record-setting and boundary-breaking female athletes around the world and across sports.
ㅤ
Play It Forward features twenty‑five inspirational stories of badass women from all corners of the sports universe, curated by TOGETHXR, a sports media company founded by legends Sue Bird, Alex Morgan, Simone Manuel, and Chloe Kim. From profiles of professional athletes and Olympians at the top of their game to everyday women putting in the work without a crowd, these are true tales of fierce competitors, dedicated teammates, and passionate advocates who are all too accustomed to hearing the word “no.” Each story highlights an inspiring athlete or team who is defying expectations and rebelling against inequality in big and small ways, including:
ㅤ
— Indigenous women who formed a softball team in Mexico
— Older women finding friendship through competitive swimming
— A woman mountain-climbing her way out of oppression in Afghanistan
— WNBA players developing a voice for social justice and influencing a pivotal election
— Incarcerated women playing soccer to prepare for life after release
ㅤ
For sports fans of all ages, Play it Forward celebrates and elevates the gutsy true stories of activists and dreamers who are changing the game, and the world of sports, for the better.
"We are thrilled to partner with Chronicle to bring this incredible collection of diverse stories that celebrate women athletes as powerful multihyphenates who literally make, shape, and move our culture forward. It’s our daily mission to pull women athletes and women’s sports from the margins, and center them with authentic and empowered storytelling. This collection is just that, and elevates those who broke, and continue to break, barriers.”
— Jessica Robertson, TOGETHXR Co-Founder and Chief Content Officer
