Blown away by the @NWSL pre-season broadcast seminar in Fort Lauderdale yesterday 🇺🇸⚽️📺

Women's sports leagues around the world take note:

* broadcasters, producers, TV execs, NWSL club media managers, referee bosses, etc, all in one room. Also ex-players retraining as TV producers

* emphasising the importance of actively encouraging/facilitating media access so journalists have as much content as they need to help spread the word of the league

* update on exponential commercial growth of the #NWSL

* target audience data after extensive marketing research

* specific strategy to grow fan bases in the stands and on TV

* commentator language discussion. Words matter

* (co)commentator session to share tips/advice to help newly recruited ex-players learn their new role

* player focus - giving them a platform to succeed/shine - sharing their stories

* refereeing, VAR, laws of the game update. More cameras added for better coverage.

* roundtable brainstorm on how to step up the coverage across all networks, making it even more engaging: CBS, ESPN, Amazon, ION, Victory+. Fresh ideas to entertain current fans and attract new supporters

No mention of the men's game all day. European club execs should shed their outdated misconceptions and note the enormous growth potential.

2026 season starts next month. Can't wait.

Now to focus on my @UWCL commentary at 5:45pm live on @DisneyPlus, with European champions @ArsenalWFC being an example of a club that spotted the potential a long time ago. They're at @OHLWomen who are on their way up. Play-off first leg.
