Olivia Kayler is a sales director in the commercial trucking industry who has more than 15 years of experience in establishing professional relationships throughout the nation. During her time developing philanthropic projects, Olivia Kayler worked on initiatives for major league sports professionals, including a top-ranked humanitarian campaign with the WNBA’s Monica Wright. Near the close of 2019, only 4 percent of all sports coverage involved female athletes. Despite professional athletics having been long dominated by men, female athletes have established themselves not only as historic competitors, but business leaders and active philanthropists. Sisters Serena and Venus Williams, for example, are two of the most accomplished tennis players of all time, with a combined 30 major singles championships, as well as 14 doubles championships together. Serena's 23 major titles is an Open Era record in the sport, for men or women. Off the court, the two are businesswomen commanding globally visible sponsors and have advocated for various causes, including Serena's recent push to introduce maternity leave to pro tennis. Michele Roberts, on the other hand, is a female figure in sports influencing change from the financial side, serving as executive director of the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA), a position she has held since 2014. Together with new commissioner Adam Silver, Roberts stabilized the position and helped steer the NBPA and NBA through an easy collective bargaining agreement (CBA) in 2014, following a lockout-shortened season in 2011 resulting from CBA disagreements. In addition to working on behalf of player rights, Roberts serves as a trial lawyer, with experience as a public defender. Other iconic women in sports today include Washington DC sports team owner Sheila Johnson and The Atlantic staff writer Jemele Hill, who has spoken out about important issues during her time as a journalist. This is only a small collection of prominent women in the world of sports.
