Women’s Sports Foundation CEO Danette Leighton and Cole Brauer, the first female American sailor to race solo around the world, join Sarah to talk about the inaugural WSF Sport Report. They discuss what the findings tell us about a girl’s journey from youth sports to elite competition and why we should be worried about the pipeline fueling pro women’s sports. Cole always shares some memories of her sail around the world and why she thinks being at sea is easier than being on land. Plus, keep dreaming, staying put in Louisville, and a “Yes And” that carries us through time.
