As a coach, you train the athletes on your team to prepare well, play hard, and finish strong. Your athletes, in return, trust and expect you to make the right calls to help them win. Finding a successful game strategy can be challenging because you are constantly evaluating and adjusting it based on the team’s performance. It is rare to find one perfect game strategy that can apply to all teams and talents.
However, 50 years ago, we discovered a winning strategy for all of America’s female athletes: Title IX. Signed into law in 1972, the 37 words of this relatively simple legislation empowered women to win by leveling the playing field and providing them access to the same athletic opportunities that their male counterparts enjoyed.
