Great Research & Solutions
Great work, Tegan! Incredible listen, research, and ideas for ways to improve things! Hope others join the cause!
Been a sports fan for 35 years and women’s sports are often more exciting than men’s. It’s been awesome to watch some of the phenomenal athletes compete over the years. My family has loved watching softball, soccer, basketball, gymnastics, and others over the years.
