Special Editorial Spotlight

Tennis legend and leading women's sports advocate Billie Jean King graces the cover of Women in Sports. In an exclusive interview, she talks about creating opportunities for more women to enter the spotlight of professional sports, through helping to establish both the Women's Tennis Association and Professional Women's Hockey League. She shares wisdom and advice intended to not only motivate women to succeed as athletes, but to also thrive in the business of sport.

"Knowing the history of your sport shows you how to build something," King says. "That kid may go on to own a tournament herself or contribute to women's sports in one way or another, but she's never going to get there if she doesn't get a chance to start learning the business."

Through athlete storytelling, expert commentary, and collaborative partnerships, Women in Sports highlights how leadership, representation, and opportunity are expanding across all levels of athletics — from youth development programs to collegiate leadership and professional competition.

The campaign officially launches nationwide today within copies of USA Today and online at futureofpersonalhealth.com.
