The world of sports for women is beyond just playing an activity or physical exertion. There is an inspiring journey behind the women who have molded the sports industry.
Women in sports showcase a compelling caliber of talent and commitment.
Whether these women were athletes, coaches, executives or even broadcasters, the duties are endless to the trailblazing efforts women have contributed to the world of sports, and it is about time their remarkable efforts are highlighted and celebrated.
“The much-anticipated museum will be a living, breathing museum featuring interactive, state-of-the-art exhibits that recognize the women who have given their time, talent, tears and triumphs to defy gender stereotypes and lead all women to heights beyond expectation.”

The Women’s Sports Museum is set to launch in the city of Sarasota, Florida.
