BSN SPORTS and Under Armour® launched WOW a year ago as an exclusive women's high school sports sponsorship to empower coaches across the country with performance solutions and a robust female athletics support system that allows them to focus on what matters most — changing lives and inspiring the next generation of women to strive for greatness.

Terry Babilla, President of BSN SPORTS, commented, "A year ago, we launched Women of Will with our long-time partner, Under Armour, to serve as the first national sponsorship program for women's high school sports teams. This effort recognizes and supports high school women – both at the coach/AD and student-athlete level – who possess the ambition and defiant swagger to overcome any obstacle. Consistent with this goal, we are thrilled to recognize five athletic directors from across the country who represent the 'best of' the WOW program. We are honored to support them and their programs and look forward to another year successful year for the WOW program."

In addition to the Hall of Fame Awards, the Women of Will Graduation Awards recognize one female athlete from every WOW school at the end of the year. The athlete is nominated by their Athletic Director and Coaches based on athletic ability, as well as commitment to academic excellence, sportsmanship, leadership on and off the court/field, and commitment to serving her community. Each winner will receive a plaque, letter from BSN SPORTS and Under Armour® and a certificate. To nominate an athlete for the Graduation Award, please visit: https://www.bsnsports.com/ib/women-of-will.
