Why growth isn't good enough for women athletes | Ani Minic | TEDxNYU

Women's sports is growing fast and attracting investment, but conversations about pay, empowerment and protection for women athletes remain limited. In this TEDxNYU talk, Ani Minic, a third-year NYU student and member of Montenegro's women's national football team, draws on her own experience to point out where progress in women's sports has not yet led to equity.

• Growth in women's sports does not automatically produce fair compensation
• Focus on empowerment and protection of women athletes
• Personal perspective from a player in Montenegro's women's national team
• Presented at an independently organized TEDx event

As the dynamic world of women's sports continues to defy expectations and implement innovative expansion strategies -- positioning itself as one of the most valuable, high-growth assets in the global sports ecosystem -- conversations around the compensation, empowerment, and protection of women athletes remain confined. Ani Minic, a third-year student at NYU and member of Montenegro's Women's National Football Team, leverages her unique personal experiences to outline areas where progress does not sufficiently translate to equity for women in sports. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
