To all the girls dreaming of working in sports: if you can dream it, you can do it. Women are leading and excelling in various roles across our organization, from STEM to photography. On National Girls and Women in Sports Day we’re shining a spotlight on just a few of the amazing women working on and off the field at the Washington Spirit:
Michele Kang

The first woman of color to own an NWSL team, Michele has become the global thought leader in revolutionizing women’s sports. Her groundbreaking vision is to create the most preeminent sports organization in the world with a high performance culture of winning on and off the pitch, training females as females and proving the commercial viability of women’s sports. She was selected as one of Sports Business Journal’s 2022 Power Players in Women’s Sports.

My job as team physical therapist is to plan and coordinate the rehabilitation for players in the return to play process. With a player first approach, each rehabilitation is individualized to the athlete in front of us. What I enjoy most is undoubtedly when the player returns to the pitch and doing what they love!
