A couple of weeks ago, we hit three months of Good Sport. I’m already looking forward to a year from now when I can say yes, I do have a 15-month-old. A baby media company. Her first words were Barclays Center.
I wanted to use this week’s post as an opportunity to spell out why I’m building Good Sport and what the big vision is here, so our editor Rosabelle did a huge coup, took the mic, and interviewed ME all about it.
Spoiler: Good Sport exists because I wanted to create a media outlet for women’s sports that I wished existed as a fan. One that’s more swaggy than girlboss, more gen-z than millennial (no shade, I’m 27 and a generational cusper), and more pro-women than clickbaity. I want to help build the cultural relevancy of this space and tell the stories that get lost in the bigger news streams. I want to celebrate the distinct cultures in different cities around women’s sports.
And I want to have fun! Is that too much to ask?! No, because I’m in charge of my own destiny…Here’s what Rosabelle and I covered:
What Good Sport NYC actually is, and why we’re building it
What’s missing from the current state of women’s sports media
Cool work happening right now: the WNBA’s 30th season campaign, the New York Liberty’s retro branding, and the indie creators doing the best work out
Three months of Good Sport by the numbers
What it’s been like building this thing solo and on the side of a full-time job, and what I’ve learned so far
The five-year vision: a national network of Good Sport hubs
My sports origin story, including my soccer-themed room and Mia Hamm posters
Women’s sports trivia: Cromer family edition
Enjoy this episode :) I had so much fun with Rosabelle talking about it all.
