My Project

My name is Estée Park, and my life has been changed for the better because I have had the opportunity to participate in competitive soccer my entire life. For my senior project, I am making a podcast that shows that not all girls are this lucky. In this series of interviews, I will set out to figure out how much opportunity women and girls are getting for soccer in different countries around the world. I will be speaking with representatives from five different countries: Nicaragua, the United States, Costa Rica, Lesotho, and Colombia. I want find out what the role of women in society is in these countries, and how that translates women and girls access to soccer. I’m curious to know about barriers, perception of female athletes, pay inequity, and anything else that adds to what the women’s soccer culture is like in these countries.  My goal is to point out the obvious inequity between men’s and women’s soccer, and hear ideas from the people I am interviewing on what can be done to eliminate the injustice.
