Excited and proud to share the article Leela Srinivasan, CEO of PARITY | A Group 1001 Company, and I recently co-authored. Seeing the latest data on women’s sports, it’s clear we’re not witnessing a moment — we’re watching a movement. At Duke Corporate Education, we care about sport because it’s one of the purest laboratories for leadership and one of the most powerful frontiers for social justice work. The numbers alone tell an incredible story: 🏀 WNBA viewership up 34% across national networks, ESPN viewership up 170%, and merchandise sales climbing 600% year-on-year. ⚽ The 2023 Women’s World Cup drew nearly 2 billion viewers globally. 🏛️ Deloitte projects women’s elite sports will be a $2.35B industry in 2025, more than double its 2023 size. Private equity is flowing in — firms like Sixth Street have already invested $125M+ in women’s football. Sport is often where cultural change is most visible first. It’s where rules get rewritten, where new talent gets a platform, and where communities rally around a more inclusive future. That’s why Duke CE pays attention — because the lessons emerging from women’s sports today are the lessons leaders everywhere will need tomorrow. And if the trajectory continues, this “tipping point” might soon look like a launchpad.
