Every person who participates in sports won't become a professional athlete. But everyone should have the same opportunities to chase their dreams. I may not have the same basketball gifts as a Kobe Bryant or LeBron James, but like them I was given a chance for equal play.

With the WNBA, the destination for the greatest women's basketball players in the world, I hope to provide young girls with new hope, inspiration and someone to look up to.

Because the WNBA season isn't very long, I do everything I can to make sure I'm as healthy as I can be for those 4-5 months. Eating right, daily weight training sessions, and extra sleep are all part of the routine.

It is tiring to hear enlightened men describe themselves as "supporters" of women's sports as if they are charitable donors.

Five years ago, I decided to make a documentary about homophobia in sports. I wanted to understand why athletes seemed to feel being out was unsafe when lesbian and gay visibility was increasing everywhere else.

Sometimes I think we take Title IX for granted -- whether watching the finest female athletes competing on a world stage, or watching teenage girls working together to win a high school volleyball match, the benefits are clear.
