She may work behind-the-scenes, but as one of a very small group of female professional sports leaders, LA Sparks President and COO Christine Simmons lives in the spotlight. Learn how she overcomes challenges like how she felt after winning the national championship in 2016—"I felt like I had a target on my back"—and how she is committed to growing the audience for women's basketball—showing sports fans that female athletes are just as talented as their male counterparts. Christine shares with Linda what it is like to run a professional sports team and work for Magic Johnson, and why she thinks working full-time makes her a better mom.
