NETWORKING IS OUT

Can we all agree that “networking” needs a better name?
The best professional relationships don’t start with small talk and business cards.

• They start with:
  A shared experience
•  A real conversation
• A “same here” moment

At SHE’S GOT NEXT, we see it all the time:

• A current player connects with a former athlete who’s been there.
• A student gets honest advice from someone five years ahead.
• Two women team up to lead something bigger than either could do alone.

That’s not networking.
That’s community.
It’s support.
It’s looking out for each other and showing up when it counts.

That’s why we like showing up for other women at games, not galas.
Because let’s be honest—who feels at home under ballroom lights and forced small talk?

Natural settings lead to natural connections.

We might not have a better word yet—but we know what it feels like when it’s done right.

And that’s what we’re building.
