MAURA GREEHAN<\/p>\n

I love so many sports. Right now I\u2019m really into the WNBA. I just moved here from Dallas, so I love Paige [Bueckers] and Arike [Ogunbowale]. They are both fantastic women on the Dallas Wings.\u00a0<\/p>\n

NANCY COLLETT-BISBEE<\/p>\n

Growing up, I was really a huge fan of Maria Sharapova. I played tennis my whole life and tennis fashion, and women\u2019s fashion is really hard in athletics in general. There are a lot of things that are geared towards men. Maria Sharapova started some lines of clothing. She would do collabs with Adidas and Nike, and it was cute, fun and colorful. It fit the way it was supposed to.\u00a0<\/p>\n

GABRIELLE PRAMPIN<\/p>\n

My favorite female athlete is Gabby Douglas. I feel like I have a couple … Alysa [Liu] is definitely up there as of recently. I just love her passion for the sport and figure skating. I think it\u2019s not taken as seriously as say like football or basketball. I think we need to bring more passion back to sports, especially the artistic ones. I like Gabby Douglas though. She\u2019s just done so much.\u00a0<\/p>\n

ESMERALDA WRIGHT<\/p>\n

Simone Biles. She is just such a powerhouse. She\u2019s such a girl boss in so many ways. She doesn\u2019t take crap from anybody, so role model. \u00a0<\/p>\n

If you could sit down and have coffee with Simone, what would you talk about?<\/p>\n

I\u2019d honestly love to know how she\u2019s stayed so motivated and determined, because I\u2019m sure it\u2019s not been an easy path for her. I\u2019ve always loved learning how and what kinds of things help people push through certain things in their lives.<\/p>\n

MADDI BUSK<\/p>\n

I always liked Mia Hamm.<\/p>\n

Is there something about her that inspires you?<\/p>\n

Yeah, I think, you know, we\u2019re going through a time where aging is really frowned upon and you know plastic surgery is really huge. I think women have always struggled with getting older and just aging is not glorified for women.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"MAURA GREEHAN I love so many sports.
