Why does everyone look 30 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 2: so sure of themselves? And I feel not scene to 31 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 2: trying everything the investigation. 32 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 4: Next up, tennis. 33 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 2: We hear the kids missing balls, hitting balls, grunting, running, 34 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 2: and falling. Tennis is powerful, fast, focused, and kind of fun. 35 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 2: Missus Bossip yells out strong swing Ella, it felt impressive 36 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 2: but not necessarily mine. After missus Bossip's compliment, Ella imagines 37 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 2: a crowd cheering for her while swinging case. Note, just 38 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 2: because something is amazing doesn't. 39 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 4: Mean it's amazing for me, and just because the applause 40 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 4: is there doesn't mean I should do it either.

As the trio enters the swimming area. All right, last, 47 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 2: stop swimming. Not only is it fun, it helps with endurance, 48 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 2: strength and maybe even scholarships to college. 49 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 4: Everything slows. 50 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 2: Ella looks at the pool, almost as if it's longing 51 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 2: for her to jump in. 52 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 4: She does love the water. She lives in curiosity cove. 53 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 4: After all. 54 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 2: Ella jumps in, hesitant at first, but then she starts 55 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 2: really going forward in the pool, swimming laps like she's 56 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 2: done this before. This feels incredibly different. When I jumped 57 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 2: in the water didn't rush me. It didn't yell, it listened, 58 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 2: and I just flowed with it. Ella gliding underwater, muffled 59 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 2: and calm. I wasn't trying to win or compete for anything. 60 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:47,600 Speaker 2: I wasn't trying to impress anyone. I was just moving 61 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 2: with it. 62 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 4: She surfaces. 63 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 2: Wow, oh hi, Leila, you look more relaxed. 64 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 4: Ella, you don't look so frazzled. 65 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,919 Speaker 5: Yeah, you look peaceful, which is weird for Jim. 66 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 2: I think I found my something a sport I actually 67 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,040 Speaker 2: really like saying. 68 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 4: For Missus Bossup's conversation with. 69 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 2: Ella, Ella walks out of the locker room fully changed. 70 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 2: When she bumps into Missus Bossup, you know, Ella, you 71 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 2: are really amazing at swimming, and not everyone finds what 72 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 2: they're really good at right away. It looks different for everyone. 73 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 2: It also happens at different moments in life. Thanks for 74 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:37,840 Speaker 2: saying that, Missus. 75 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 4: Bossup. 76 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 2: I thought maybe I was doing sports wrong, or maybe 77 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:47,280 Speaker 2: being curious and trying all sports is exactly how it 78 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 2: should be, Ella, That's how you figure out what you 79 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,040 Speaker 2: love or what you may want to come back to. Well, 80 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:58,280 Speaker 2: being curious is my forte and trying it all makes 81 00:05:58,360 --> 00:05:59,280 Speaker 2: perfect sense. 82 00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 4: You don't try, you'll never know. 83 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,160 Speaker 2: I might have missed out on something I really loved 84 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 2: if I didn't, you know, Ella, some women changed sports 85 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 2: by never giving up and taking the time to figure 86 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 2: out if it was something they really loved, Some by 87 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 2: being relentless, some by staying calm. 88 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 4: When the world told them no. 89 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 2: Do you know the one thing they all had in common, Ella, 90 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 2: leans in what they all loved the sport they played 91 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 2: and worked really. 92 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 4: Hard at it because of that love. 93 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 2: Like Venus Williams, she picked up racket at around four 94 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:32,839 Speaker 2: years old. 95 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:34,719 Speaker 4: When she stepped onto. 96 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,279 Speaker 2: The tennis court and her teens, she changed the game 97 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 2: with strength, focus and confidence. Ella thinks, hmm. She started 98 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 2: because she was curious and kept going. No wonder, it 99 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 2: didn't matter who played against her. She knew she was 100 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 2: a winner before she even stepped on the court. She 101 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 2: knew she belonged exactly. Let's take a swimming for instance, 102 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 2: Gertrude Elderly. She was the first woman to swim across 103 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,679 Speaker 2: the English Channel. She didn't just cross it, she swam 104 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:09,359 Speaker 2: further than anyone thought possible. She beat the men's record 105 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 2: by nearly two hours. Calm, steady, unstoppable. Ella looks back 106 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 2: at the pool. Isn't the English Channel freezing in a 107 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:18,679 Speaker 2: bit rough? 108 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 5: Yes? 109 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 2: It is, But she trusted the water and herself. She 110 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 2: did it at a time when people didn't think a 111 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 2: woman was strong enough and couldn't last in the rough, 112 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 2: cold water. She trusted herself and swam one stroke at 113 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 2: a time. That's right, Ella. Oh, and long before it 114 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:40,679 Speaker 2: was common, women like Tony Stone played baseball when people 115 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 2: said women shouldn't be playing baseball at all. 116 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 5: She played with the boys. 117 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 4: Yes she did. She played because she loved the game. Scout. 118 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 2: She played for the Indianapolis Clowns, one of the most 119 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 2: famous teams in baseball. She even replaced Tank Aaron at 120 00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 2: second base. Did people doubt her. Oh yes they did. 121 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 2: She was usually the only woman on the field. That 122 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 2: must have been brutal, especially in nineteen fifty three. 123 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 4: People weren't necessarily ready for Tony. 124 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 5: Well Tony sounded ready for Tony. 125 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 4: She wasn't flashy. She just loved baseball. She had a 126 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 4: quiet fire. 127 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 2: Ella thinks with her detective hat on, it wasn't necessarily 128 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 2: about the sport. It was about how each woman showed 129 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 2: up in her sport and loved it fiercely. Because of that, 130 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 2: they were confident, skilled and ready no matter who or 131 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 2: what they were up against. Ella talks to missus bossup again. 132 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,320 Speaker 2: So it's okay if I'm not quite sure what my 133 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,079 Speaker 2: thing is yet, Missus Bossip smiles. 134 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 4: It's absolutely okay. 135 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 2: When and if you do find a sport you love, 136 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 2: you may be the next Grtue, Tony or Venus or 137 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 2: the next Ella the Curious. 138 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 5: I love that I can see the signs now, Ella 139 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,679 Speaker 5: the Curious.

Today I learned that not every path 152 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 4: is the same. 153 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:47,080 Speaker 2: Some paths splash, some glide, and some feel like breathing. 154 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 4: Women in sports didn't all move the same way. 155 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 2: They figured out what they loved and then went for it, 156 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 2: And I think I found my love in the water. 157 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 2: I'll continue to practice and become my best like the 158 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 2: women I heard about today, And if I decide to 159 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 2: take it further competitively, I know I can be passionate 160 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,200 Speaker 2: and fun at the same time. But for now, fun 161 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 2: is the perfect place to start. Case closed. Boy, oh boy. 162 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,319 Speaker 2: I love hearing about women in sports. Not only is 163 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 2: it inspiring, but everyone starts differently and that makes each 164 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 2: person special.
