Sha’Carri Richardson just earned her first Olympic gold medal.

The gold medal isn’t the win. Persevering is the win. For all who kept going …

Two more to go… 🤞💪🤞💪

U.S. women's basketball team to moves onto Olympics semifinals in quest for eighth straight gold The U.S. women’s basketball team is two wins away from its eighth straight gold medal after defeating Nigeria 88-73 in the quarterfinal round Wednesday in Paris. Las Vegas Aces star A’ja Wilson led the way with 20 points for the United States. Las Vegas Aces’ Jackie Young scored 15 and New Yor...

Let’s Goooooo!!!!!!

Women supporting women!! 🙌❤️🙌

"Aw, look how they hold hands when they go to the other side of the net?" my teenage daughter said. "I'm loving the women supporting women vibe of this Olympics!"

And as I watched Sara Hughes and Kelly Cheng, the United States' best beach volleyball pair, interlock their fingers as they walked to their bench, I totally got what my daughter was saying because beautiful moments like these are happening like rapid fire right now.

It's Allyson Felix launching a first-of-its-kind nursery for athlete mothers at the Olympics, and marathon runner Aliphine Tuliamuk and judoka Clarisse Agbégnénou advocating for breastfeeding space.

It's watching U.S. women's soccer coach Emma Hayes walking with her arm around Japan's Maika after a hard-fought loss.

It's Suni Lee and Simone Biles cheering on Brazil's Rebeca Andrade during the all-around, knowing what the three of them have overcome in the last few years.

It's rugby player Ilona Maher inspiring young girls to love their bodies no matter what the size.

It’s Katie Ledecky sharing the podium with her teammate Paige Madden.

It's South Korea's shooting Silver medalist and maybe the coolest person at the Olympics Ye-ji Kim carrying around a stuffed elephant that her daughter gave her.

It's Sha'Carri Richardson walking over to Julien Alfred after losing the 100m race and giving her a hug, then gleefully celebrating her Silver medal along with her teammate who won Bronze..

Millions of women seeing women supporting women. It is so powerful. It spreads like wildfire.

It's Adele stopping a concert to watch the women's 100m race last night.

It's Shannon Miller jumping for joy when Simone Biles broke her medal record.

It's Michele Kang contributing to lesser-known sports and women's teams, and the first stadium built for women’s sports in KC. (And shout out to Flavor Flav for helping out the women's water polo team because he's a "girl dad.")

When we see women supporting women instead of cutting them down, it's when the game changes, it's when we can meet our potential, and it's when we become unstoppable forces in this world.

Sports has always had a direct effect on society on multiple levels, from supporting vulnerable and marginal groups and rallying a nation in transition to building confidence and creating opportunities for youth.

We are living change right now, and dang, girls! You are killing it!

Even if you are not a sports fan, there is something electric about what's happening right now. Use it as a spark to engage with your daughters and with your sons.

And when you have an opportunity to lift a girl up, take it. There is enough success for all of us.

So, when I saw those two teammates walking hand in hand back onto that sandy court, I felt the vibe that my daughter was talking about.

And I want to see more of it, too.

Love hard. It's the only thing that matters.

Shockwave Fans...we usually do this fundraiser and I know our fans love it. Since we're pausing this season, maybe you still want popcorn and to help a fellow WFA team, Baltimore Nighthawks! Go get you some delicious popcorn!!!

Hello Nighthawks Nation! Your Nighthawks have some additional traveling to do, so we are fundraising to offset those costs. Please share our Double Good Popcorn fundraiser and buy a few bags.

NFL Alumni and WFA Announce Partnership to Strengthen Communities and Empower Women in Football Professional Women's Tackle Football League

Hello Shockwave, family, friends, and fans!
We are sad to announce that we will be pausing our efforts in our 2024 season. One of our very own has been battling some serious health issues that will continue through June.

Due to this, the right amount of focus and attention has not been made in preparing for this upcoming season and there are structural hurdles in place as a result that can’t be overcome in time to play out the 2024 season.

We want to make sure we put out a great team both on and off the field as we have for the past 22 years. We will be taking this time to get healthy, regroup and be ready for an exciting 2025 return!

In the mean time, we will be supporting the youth and high school girls flag football efforts, so stay tuned for that.

Thank you everyone for your support and we look forward to seeing you on the field again soon!

Ladies…get your annual mammograms.
It could save your life!! 💝
