Today is a rare alignment of culture and food. Taco Tuesday meets Cinco de Mayo!

According to Nielsen retail data, Cinco de Mayo is one of the top 5 days for Mexican inspired food sales in the U.S.

Cinco de Mayo generates beer sales comparable to the Super Bowl, drives more than $700 million in alcohol revenues. And did you know that on this day, avocado consumption in the U.S. traditionally spikes to over 80 million pounds?! That’s enough to fill a football stadium nearly halfway with guacamole! 🥑

Food is one of the most consistent drivers of fan engagement in sports venues. From tacos to specialty menus, it’s not just about what’s on the field, it’s what’s in hand from the concession stand.

What’s your go to order? Nachos, tacos, something else? Tell us in the comments? 🌮

Burnout isn’t a badge of honor.
Nearly 50% of women report feeling burned out at work, compared to 38% of men.

In the sports industry, we are trained to prioritize the 'win.' But the data shows the hardest play is often internal: 35% of elite athletes and a significant portion of the professionals who support them experience a mental health crisis manifesting as burnout or anxiety.

This May, we’re reclaiming our time, our boundaries and our well being. Let’s make 'More Good Days' the new industry standard. Success is not sustainable without mental health.

What’s one boundary you’re recommitting to?

In the NYC Metro Chapter of WISE, your volunteer hours accelerate your own growth. Every time you raise your hand, you’re stepping deeper into the center of the NYC sports industry, building real relationships with peers who value intention, excellence and follow-through.

You’re not just “helping out” or showing up on event day to be an “extra pair of hands.” You’re building equity in your career, shaping the experiences that move this community forward and positioning yourself among leaders who show up with purpose.

That is the true power of paying it forward: having your talent recognized while you are actively contributing to the output.

The pivot isn't always about the game. Sometimes it's about YOU.

WISE NYC Metro chapter members we're creating space for the conversation high-performing women in sports rarely make time for.

Join us May 6 in NYC for an intimate members-only evening with Melissa Gonzalez, author of The Purpose Pivot. She was forced to stop mid-play. What came next changed the game!

This one is just for us. Members only. Space is limited.

Ever wonder why certain references make opportunities move instantly while others barely register? It usually comes down to two things:

1️⃣ The person referring you is highly respected.
Their name carries weight and they don’t refer just anyone. When they speak up, people pay attention.

2️⃣ They know and trust your work
Not polite familiarity. Not “we worked together once.” But trust built from seeing your consistency, deliverables and character over time.

HR professionals can always tell the difference between:
someone advocating with genuine conviction
vs.
someone offering a polite, surface‑level reference because they were listed on a form.

This is why doing your best matters, people are always watching.

A reference isn’t just a name; it’s someone willing to stand behind the quality of your work. Choose your references wisely.
