The YachtCollege Mariner: Women Leading the Way

Editor’s note: This is the fourth of a series that will chronicle YachtCollege.

March is Women’s History Month, and OL Reign players wrote their own history last season when the NWSL became the first league in the U.S. to return to play after the pandemic shut down sports. During their “Sports Heroines in Modern History” YachtCollege course, OL Reign stars Lauren Barnes, Dani Weatherholt, and Madison Hammond talked about life in the bubble, their leadership on environmental sustainability, and the upcoming season.

We started the course with some F-A-C-T-S.

Only 4% of media coverage is dedicated to women’s sports.
