Can you walk us through how you think about the connection between investing in women's sports and the development of the next generation of business leaders?
62:03
Yeah, so it's probably not a surprise, but when you look at women leaders today, it's statistically proven that they attribute their ability to be leaders, the success they have, back to what they learned in sport.
62:18
Over 85% of women executives attribute their role today from what they learned in sport.
62:25
When you go higher up the chain, the most senior executives, it's well over 90%.
62:30
So when we think about this, it's about getting more girls to actually join and stay as long as they can in sport.
62:37
Not everybody on the stage is going to do what the three of you did, and that's okay.
62:41
One year, one day, five years.
65:08
Yeah.
14:44
How does that prepare you?
14:45
Yeah, sports has been huge for me.
14:47
I could talk all day about the things I learned.
14:50
I'll pick a few things.
14:51
One, I often talk about grit.
14:53
Grit is the part of your elbow that's rough that y- you get over time from falling and hitting things.
15:00
That's what grit is, and grit ultimately is the thing that shows up when things aren't going well and powers you through the really tough moments.
16:37
Why is that shift? How does sports help women sort of overcome the superwoman fallacy?
