"If we don't have healthy women, we don't have a healthy society."
- Barb Anthony, Play Gap

You hear that and it hits hard. This is so much bigger than pro sports alone. Sports and access to play have much greater impact on society and culture than we typically give credit for.

That was central to the discussion at yesterday's panel: Growing the Game for Girls & Women in Cleveland, at the Cleveland Power of Sport Summit Series.

👇 Watch highlights from the panel below 👇

Thanks to the panelists and to @clesportsummit for bringing people together for important conversations like this one.
