About this episode:

If you’ve ever played sports, you know it shapes who you are — and the stats back it up.

A survey by EY and espnW found that 94 percent of women in C-suite positions played sports, with 52 percent competing at the collegiate level. In this episode, I sit down with Morolake Akinsoun, Olympic gold medalist and now Head of Athlete Relations at Grand Slam Track, an exciting new elite track event series.

Morolake talks about how her experience in sports helped her build the skills that transitioned her from Olympic podium to her new role.

About Unexpected Curves:

A unique listening experience for the next generation of sports fans to interact with the stories about the people, and the plays that make an industry. In each episode we will get into the culture of women’s sports. Breaking down what’s good, what’s bad and what’s weird. We’ll hear from athletes and experts paving the way for future and sometimes we will go back in time to see how we got here in the first place.

This is the sports show where we give the girls some support.
