Summary

This week, we open up the mailbag and answer some of your most burning questions. Like when did Sue realize Megan was the funniest person ever? Will Sue ever coach a WNBA team? What’s our nap schedule? And then we share a very personal conversation we had with World Cup champion and two-time Olympic gold medalist Lauren Cheney Holiday at the annual MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference. Lauren tells us what drives her to invest in women’s sports, how the industry could enable women athletes’ involvement in the business, and her up-close insights into what women’s sports needs to grow. Megan and Lauren also reminisce about the NWSL and do some serious fan-girling over the new generation of soccer players.
