For the third consecutive Winter Games, U.S. women won more gold medals and more medals overall than U.S. men. Success can be traced back to Title IX.

The Affordable Care Act offered a practical pathway for more women to become self-employed. As a critical enrollment deadline expires with no subsidies, that could collapse.

Michele Kang is raising the bar for what it means to invest in women. Her latest $25 million commitment to U.S. Soccer is driving the new Kang Women’s Institute within the Soccer Forward foundation and building the research, standards and support systems women athletes have always deserved.

And on top of that, in 2024 Michele pledged a historic $30 million to expand access for youth players and strengthen the entire development pipeline for women across the sport. Few leaders are investing in women at this scale.

Her new Kang Women’s Institute will focus entirely on the real needs of female athletes, from injury recovery and return-to-play after pregnancy to better coaching models for girls in youth sports. As Michele said, “For too long, women have trained, played and recovered using models built for men. That ends now.”

This is what it looks like when we center women not as an afterthought, but as the standard. The impact of this kind of leadership will be felt for generations.
