Da’Myiah Lewis (Senior, Public Health) and Jadyn Patterson (Junior, Creative Media) speak about the importance of breaking stereotypes in sports.
They believe that as an athlete it’s important to be a role model for younger athletes to show them proof that they can achieve their goals, especially as women.
Breaking the double standard is an important aspect of women participating in sports, and that is exactly what the Stan State Women’s basketball team has done this season!
By showing others that women can be assertive, passionate, hard working and fierce this team has displayed why they deserve to be looked up to by younger generations.
