Dr. Nicole LaVoi, Kinesiology lecturer in sport and exercise psychology and sport sociology and associate director of the Tucker Center for Research on Girls & Women in Sport, was recently invited to serve on espnW’s 2012 advisory panel. She joins an impressive group of new members that includes the founding president of the WNBA, the vice president of the Phoenix Mercury and Phoenix Suns, an Olympic swimmer, and the director of the Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport Chair at the University of Central Florida.
Comprised of 25 members, the panel serves as an integral connector between espnW and the women + sports culture, and establishes espnW as ESPN’s brand platform for women that “connects female fans to the sports they love and follow.”
