Samantha’s Ministry FIERCE website: https://fierceathlete.org/
FIERCE Athlete exists as an organization that promotes truth and beauty in the realm of women’s athletics. While Title IX opened many doors for women since it was enacted by Congress on June 23, 1972, the past fifty years have also seen an increase in messages and policies that are toxic for female athletes. FIERCE Athlete desires to talk about the goodness this law has brought about, while also addressing the many issues women in sport face today.
Using the teachings of the Catholic Church and Theology of the Body, FIERCE hopes to be a bridge between sport and faith, be a reliable and supportive community, and properly equip an army of fierce, integrated female athletes to positively impact the culture of women’s athletics.
