🇯🇵 🏆 The triumph at #SheBelieves is commendable in itself, but what did it tell us about Nielsen’s vision for Nadeshiko Japan?
✍️ In my latest for @JapanTimes.co.jp I examine the key takeaways from a superbly well managed campaign.

Nils Nielsen's vision for Nadeshiko Japan comes to life at SheBelieves Cup
The remarkable achievement has brought about a renewed optimism among the fanbase, as Japan seems ready to turn the page after years of perceived underperformance.

The point made in the article about the myriad impacts of venue ownership and/or primary tenancy has parallels across other women’s pro sports & in different ways at amateur levels #womenssports
The long quest to build both a training facility and a stadium in Chicago -- with #NWSL as the primary tenant -- continues. More from the Chicago Tribune, which includes this point that really summarizes the league's widespread venue problem.

“The games instantly became less visible, less accessible, less user friendly, with less revenue potential, and a vastly smaller potential audience on the platform.” 👀 It’s more than a sophomore slump, it’s a high-risk situation for the PWHL.
We're two games into the PWHL's new experiment to stream games on Twitch.
It could be a massive loss for the league:

Opinion: Switch To Twitch Will Be A Massive Loss For The PWHL
If the PWHL chooses a permanent switch to Twitch as their online streaming platform, it will come with a loss of viewership and fan potential, and tie the league to a platform known for women streamers facing sexism.
