Description

SHE FLIES Presents: NGWSD Tip-Off Launch Event SHE FLIES National Girls and Women in Sports Day PanelJoin us as we bring together speakers of different ages, sports, and level to compare and contrast how their experiences got them to where they are today. The SHE FLIES NGWSD Panel will celebrate these amazing athletes and advocates, but also engage in some real and honest conversations about pressures and challenges faced along the way, and why they have ultimately stuck with it and have chosen to make sport such a big part of their lives. After the panel, stick around to watch an elite women's basketball game between BYU and UP at 5 p.m. All panel attendees will receive a game ticket. UP requires proof of vaccination or a negative lab-based test within 72 hours of the event. Verification will be done at the door.
