If you’re a woman hoping to pursue a career in the sports industry, chances are you’ve received your fair share of doubt and disbelief. But the fact remains: there are many successful women crushing it in the professional sports industry as we speak. So, how did they get to where they are today?

Tracy Sandler is a prime example of a woman breaking the glass ceiling in sports. She started as a credentialed sports reporter with a “just-for-fun” blog about the 49ers. That hobby has now grown into a thriving media company that produces content for female sports fans.

That’s why she’s here to share her advice for other women trying to make it in the sports industry.

Tracy talks about the mission of Fangirl Sports Network, why authenticity is at the core of everything FGSN does, and how to let your work and preparation speak for itself.
