Absolutely. I think that the landscape of women in sports has changed in the last 20 years, now is the time for women’s sports. And I think there are so many more opportunities for women in racing now than there were 20 years ago as well. I wish I was 20 years younger and doing it all over again. But I’m also very grateful for the experience and the life experience that I’ve had getting here.I don’t think that has any bearing on my nerves.
That’s a really interesting take on the whole what’s it like to be a girl in racing. I love it actually. It’s very insightful. I don’t know what it’s like to do a women’s only sport. So all my frame of reference and experiences is being the only one in a male dominated sport and for sure, there are some advantages and there are some disadvantages, and I think it all kind of evens out in the end.
