Flo-Jo For the Win! ⚡

Born in 1959, Florence Griffith Joyner's remarkable talent became evident early in her life. Known also as Flo Jo, she began her athletics career in high school, and her natural speed and determination led her to compete in the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, where she won a silver medal in the 200 meters.

However, it was the 1988 Seoul Olympics where Florence truly made history. She set world records in both the 100 meters (10.49 seconds) and the 200 meters (21.34 seconds) that have yet to be broken. Her iconic style, featuring one-legged bodysuits and colorful, long fingernails, made her a fashion icon as well as a sports legend.

Florence Griffith Joyner's story is a testament to the power of determination, hard work, and self-expression. Her incredible achievements on the track and her unique personal style have left an enduring impact on the world of sports.

Healthy Eating

“Let thy food be thy medicine and thy medicine be thy food.” – Hippocrates

Host Julia is a fifteen-year-old female teen athlete, competing nationally in multisports including triathlon and aquathlon. She offers tips on personalizing one’s eating habits to stay healthy. There is no one-size-fits-all. Diet trends and fads don’t last, but our body is with us to the end. Julia interviews author, Sandy Robertson, with the 2nd edition of her book, Why Am I Eating This? Is This the Nourishment I Need? +*Sandy informs us that it takes 20 minutes for our brain to register that we have consumed enough. We need to slow down and pause. Gratitude and self-care are part of loving ourselves and nourishing ourselves. Stop rushing. Take the time to savor each bite. Emotions affect our eating habits. When we are stressed, we tend to try to self-soothe. Food is comfort. Pay attention to our patterns so that we don’t let our emotions govern what and how much we eat. Eating disorders of eating too much or too little are prevalent today. Talk to an expert and get support if your eating routines are out of whack. Keep a food or self-care journal. Ask yourself if you are physically hungry. Do you have fun in your life? Are you sleeping enough? Be mindful when eating. Pay attention to the colors, textures, and tastes. What makes us unique is that everybody is different. Perfection is not possible. It’s not the goal. Love yourself. Eat mindfully! Eat healthily. We only have one body. Be kind to it.

Under Armour’s Campaign: I Will What I Want- A Sheer Masterstroke

Women are women. A separate gender, a separate identity. They are beautiful and independent. They can keep a family together. Above all, if they don’t exist, how will anyone come into this world? Due to the male-dominated environment, women assume they are lower in capabilities as compared to men. Exactly that was pointed out by Under Armour. It was presumed by the public in general that it was a masculine sportswear brand targeting only men. The sales figures spoke it out loud. In 2013, the brand had a sale of $2.3 billion, out of which only $500 million came from women’s apparel. 

Kevin Plank, founder of Under Armour, was not satisfied with it and was ready to expand. The brand collaborated with six women athletes: ballerina Misty Copeland, model Gisele Bundchen, skiers Sloane Stephens, and Lindsey Vonn, surfer Brianna Cope, soccer player Kelley O’Hara, runner Natasha Hastings, and trainer Natalie Uhling. Under Armour worked on each story to run an effective influencer campaign. The women featured in the videos are an inspiration to fellow aspiring women athletes to not suppress themselves due to any societal norms or similar degradation. 

How Did the Campaign Happen?

Under Armour was considered a male-only brand due to its aggressive and manly nature. Before 2014, the majority of the customer base of the brand was men. The above-mentioned sales figures speak that out loud! The manly appearance made the female target market hesitant to buy the product. So much so that, to achieve the set target the brand had to know what women thought of the brand. Here enters Droga5, the advertising agency hired by Under Armour. They invited women to give their opinions on the brand. The responses were too manly, not for me, aggressive, and too testosterone-filled image. In this way, both, Under Armour and Droga5, got a perspective that women couldn’t relate to the brand. No relatability, therefore lesser sales figures from female group. 

Collaborators in the Campaign:

The campaign’s creative team, Felix Richter and Alexander Nowak, came up with an outstanding idea. They got to “I Will What I Want” by emphasizing willpower in a non-athletic style. On behalf of women, they followed a philosophy: My willpower helps me live my way. There was no obligation for me to adhere to any ideology, modern or old. This was the Under Armour Woman’s image they created before themselves and started working on it. 

They collaborated with six women who broke the stereotypical image of women. Out of those six women, we bring you three women’s stories here:

The Misty Film:

Misty Copeland, a ballet dancer by heart, had defied the stereotypes. She’s only 5’2” tall with a huge bust and a toned midsection. Learning the dance form wasn’t that difficult for her and she started winning big dance competitions due to her talent. Due to a deformity in her feet, she faced multiple dejections, but her grit and love for the art kept her going. A 30-second YouTube ad was shot with the things she was told not to do, while she is shown doing her part effortlessly while the voiceover goes on in the background. The ad became a huge hit with millions of views in much less time. 

The Gisele Film:

Gisele Bundchen, a social media star, and lingerie model, has faced more trolls than one can imagine or take. Again a YouTube video ad, we see a drenched Gisele releasing her anger on a punching bag with the trolls flashing on the walls. Her raw frustrated voice while hitting on the punching bag creates all the impact of the ad. The Droga5 crew were skeptical about the implementation of this ad, but they also knew she was special. Even if a celebrity, you’re never immune to online or offline criticism, is the message portrayed here. 

Lindsey Vonn’s Film:

Lindsey Vonn, a skier by profession, had suffered from a serious injury during one of her skiing sessions. As she was too good at the sport, she was popular. But her fans started trolling her by saying will she be able to make a comeback or not, her career is finished, and things similar to it. But her grit and passion made her able enough to come back stronger. The same story is depicted again wonderfully by the Droga5 crew. 

The Impact These Campaigns Created:

Under Armour’s dedication to its female consumers through specific products and innovations has continued through 2020. The company is releasing its women’s HOVR Breakthru basketball shoe on September 17—available exclusively through Under Armour and Dick’s Sporting Goods online and in stores nationwide—and its Meridian + Moisture Infuse (M+MI) line on September 23.

The M+MI line is an evolution of their popular Meridian legging, featuring fabric that helps replenish lost moisture and keeps the skin hydrated longer. According to studies, individuals lose an average of one liter of water every hour of exercise; wearers of the M+MI line of products benefit from 26% better moisturization after wearing for three consecutive eight-hour days. 

The line also features a no-slip waistband and side pockets; two features directly communicated to Under Armour developers by consumers and athletes through first-hand feedback.

Not to forget the attention to detail by Under Armour. The innovative products they launched like waistbands, side pockets, one-size-fits-all approach, are all masterstrokes by the brand. Magic is created when two giant collaborators come together. In this case, the giants are of course, Under Armour and Droga5. 

Empowering Women in Sports:

One of the most significant impacts of the “I Will What I Want” campaign is its contribution to empowering women in sports. By featuring accomplished female athletes such as Misty Copeland, Lindsey Vonn, and others, Under Armour sends a powerful message that women can excel in any athletic arena, irrespective of societal expectations or norms.

Building Connections by Being Digital:

The campaign made excellent use of the available digital mediums to connect with a global audience. Via sharing the stories of the featured women and visually striking campaigns, Under Armour has effectively utilized these channels to spread its message and engage with consumers. The use of social media platforms has allowed the campaign to reach and inspire a diverse and widespread audience.

Conclusion:

Under Armour, with this collaboration, has left a lasting impact on the world. The contribution of the featured women, the crew of Droga5, and the brand Under Armour have made us think about women’s issues. A new way to remind society to stop the discrimination against women and start accepting them the way they are. The phrase “Teamwork makes the dream work” is very rightly pointed out via this gem of a campaign. We need more elements like these to spread awareness among the society.

UK Minister Andrew's Vision for Women's Sport

A Landmark Year for Women's Sport

In a recent address at the Westminster Insight conference, the Minister for Sport, Minister Andrew, heralded 2022 as a pivotal year for women's sport in the UK, underscored by the Lionesses' historic victory at the EUROs. This triumph, coupled with their performance at the UEFA World Cup in 2023, has sparked an unprecedented surge in interest and participation in women's football. With the number of registered female football teams doubling over the past seven years, the landscape of women’s sport is transforming, fueling aspirations, and inspiring a new generation of female athletes.   Strategic Moves Towards Sustainability Minister Andrew highlighted the government's commitment to nurturing this burgeoning interest through strategic initiatives. Moreover, the Independent Review of Women’s Football led by Karen Carney, and its subsequent recommendations, have laid the groundwork for a sustainable future in women’s football and beyond. Additionally, the establishment of an implementation group ensures these recommendations transition from paper to practice, aiming to elevate women's sports to global prominence.  

A Holistic Approach to Women's Sports

The ambition extends beyond the football field, with plans to convene a Board of Women’s Sports. Moreover, this move aims to unify leaders across various sports disciplines, fostering a shared vision that promotes inclusivity, opportunity, and growth for all women and girls in sport. Additionally, the Minister underscored the importance of visibility and participation, celebrating the upcoming Paris 2024 Olympics as a milestone event with gender parity among athletes   Addressing Challenges and Building Foundations Acknowledging the persistent challenges in achieving equality in sports participation, Minister Andrew pointed to data revealing disparities, particularly among young girls. The government's sport strategy, "Get Active," aims to counteract these trends by encouraging 1.25 million more active women by 2030. Investments in infrastructure, campaigns like "This Girl Can," and educational resources are part of a multifaceted approach to dismantle barriers and foster a culture of inclusivity and empowerment in sports.   Pioneering Funding and Safeguarding Initiatives Significant financial commitments, including the Lionesses Futures Fund, aim to enhance facilities and access to sports for women and girls. Furthermore, safeguarding remains a top priority, with ongoing efforts to ensure a safe and respectful environment for all participants. Additionally, the Minister stressed the importance of addressing online abuse and discrimination, underscoring the government's resolve to create a positive and supportive sports culture.  

The Road Ahead: Media, Investment, and Governance

Looking forward, Minister Andrew emphasized the critical role of media coverage, investment, and governance in shaping the future of women’s sports. Initiatives like the Women’s Sport Investment Accelerator scheme are designed to drive further growth and visibility. The strengthened Code for Sports Governance ensures that diversity and inclusion remain at the forefront of sports administration.   A Collective Endeavour In closing, Minister Andrew celebrated the unsung heroes of women's sports — the volunteers and community leaders who dedicate themselves to promoting sports and addressing broader societal issues. The Minister's speech was not just a reflection on past achievements but a call to action for the future, envisioning a sports landscape where women and girls thrive, supported by robust policies, community engagement, and a united vision for equality and excellence in sports.   Sources: THX News, Department for Culture, Media and Sport & The Rt Hon Stuart Andrew MP.
