Title IX Anniversary Countdown

Day 3: Show Us Your Team!

Admit it – you couldn’t have gotten where you are today without a little help along the way.  Be it family or friends, teammates, teachers or pets we’ve all had someone who’s backed us up and kept us going when all we wanted to do was get cozy with Ben & Jerry.  You can’t thank them enough, so here’s your chance to show them off!

T9 Challenge - What's Your Team?

The Payoff: Love ‘em or hate ‘em (sometimes both), your team has picked you up, pushed you forward, and made you a better you.  And we want to hear about ‘em!  Share your story and/or photo below and you could win a Limited Edition Power of 9 Tee and Title Nine Water Bottle.  Remember, a team is a team, no matter what form it may take, so brag about Fido, your knitting group, or your roller derby girls.  They’ve earned it! Don’t wait, get entered>

Countdown to Title IX Anniversary - Prizes

*Prize awarded based on availability. A substitute prize of equal or greater value may be awarded.

Title Nine - 40 Years

40 years ago Congress signed landmark legislation, Title IX, attacking the gender divide in sports. Today that divide has been virtually erased. In 1972, only 30,000 girls participated in high school sports. Today it’s over 3,000,000!! Because many of us here at Title Nine, including our founder, were there in the early years, we think there’s a lot to celebrate this year.

Yes she did

“When she bounded onto the stage in her sleeveless dresses, with her muscular post-Title IX arms in full view, the definition of a strong woman changed”.

– MSN.com

But no, Michelle Obama did not change the definition of a strong woman. She just revealed something that has been going on, hidden in plain sight, for a long, long time. A whole generation of us, we post Title IX women, have been making our mark on the world by the choices we make and the compromises that we have refused to make. We are fit and powerful, buoyed by the strength we found on the fields and courts of our girlhoods.

She does all of us post-Title IXer’s proud, But Michelle Obama is not singular, just the most visible of a whole generation of fit, powerful, post Title IX women. When we celebrate her, we are in fact, celebrating our own strength, our own true selves. And, …

We’ve only just begun.
