Discover how women athletes are turning their competitive edge into careers in sports product, innovation, and entrepreneurship.
You spent years inside sport — you know what gear fails at mile 20, what products were never designed for your body, and what gaps every teammate complained about. That lived experience isn't a soft credential; it's a competitive advantage.
This virtual panel is for the woman athlete wondering what comes next, and whether the sports product world has a seat at the table for her.
You'll learn:
- How to translate your athletic career into product-world language
- Where the real entry points are (brand roles, startups, advisory, founding)
- Why the women's sports market boom makes right now the best time to make the move
- Practical first steps to build credibility and community before you ever land the role
This event is a partnership between LaunchBreak, the professional networking and career platform for women athletes, and the UO Sports Product Management master's program.
