In this spot for Nike by W+K Portland, female athletes talk frankly about the obstacles they’ve had to overcome to rise to the top of their sports. As young girls, some were ostracized by their male counterparts, told they were too small, that athleticism wasn’t feminine…but determination and attitude meant they went for it anyway. The lesson here being: screw what everyone else says. Or, in Nike’s words, just do it.
