The Sexualization of Female Athletes w/Amanda Benson

I have followed Benny's instagram for the last few years since we met, playing against each other in France. And I've always been impressed with her sense of style and the way she uses imagery and photography in a creative way to show her style online. Which is unusual and sometimes difficult for us athletes, who generally fluctuate between posting unflattering in-action volleyball shots of ourselves on court, and snaps at the beach on a free day, with very little consistency or cohesive look and feel. 

Benny seems to do this in an effortless and unique way, and thats why it just makes total sense that she would use that talent and passion to build a personal styling business. 

And if that is not impressive enough, she also uses her platform to take a stand against the way female athletes are portrayed in Europe. We dive deep in this episode about calendar and lingerie shoots, that are just the status quo in some teams, and share some of our own experiences when we felt like the line of appropriate behavior was blurred. 

This is a great episode, and if anyone is curious how to balance your passion for volleyball with other interests, starting a side business as a full time pro athlete, the culture and competitiveness in the USA gym, or anything to do with sneakers, make sure you head over to the full podcast episode and let me know what you think!
