LESLEY VISSER- Week 16 Rewind

As women in sports media go, Lesley Visser is on Mt. Rushmore. She’s in six Hall of Fames. She’s covered Super Bowls, Final Fours, World Series, Wimbledon, the Triple Crown and more, in a career that’s spanned 45 years. She is timeless.

In this short-form rewind of our episode 15 conversation, Visser talks about the scar tissue that comes with being a trailblazer. With her legendary humor and wit, she navigates difficult career moments and an early conversation with her Mom, that went on to shape her chosen profession.

Visser is endlessly supportive of other women and prioritizes mentorship, something she says early New England Patriots players taught her, through their own equality struggles. 

Visser reflects on living out her wildest sports dreams, the advice she got along the way and describes how surreal receiving the sports Emmy award for lifetime achievement still is for her.
