What I did and what I learned about my topic, activism, social justice work or civil and human rights work from this fieldwork?:

We met with a Former D1 Soccer player named Carly Wetzel. She went to University Of North Carolina and was a midfielder on the soccer team. She talked to us about a foundation she is in called Voice in Sport Foundation, they work on strengthening title 9 for young girls. We learned about experience with her and how they hand me down uniforms that are way too big for them. We learned about how lots of girls quit the sport they love because they were abused by their coach. Carly stressed to us how important it is that the sport you play gives you confidence and does not knock you down. She also played oversees and explaing that playing oversees also impacter her mentel health are her teamates as well, she also noticed that she was treadted much better overseas and in urope then in the U.S. This interview was very informative and helpful.
