Here at VIS, we know that women athletes are doing it all. Whether it’s academics, a career, or a side-hustle, women athletes are excelling on and off the field.

Take Olympic Champion Gabby Thomas, for example. This week, Thomas spoke about her experience juggling elite track training and her work studying neurobiology and global health at Harvard.

Alone, these accomplishments would have been impressive. But at the same time? Thomas is setting the bar at a whole new level.

And Thomas isn’t the only athlete excelling in athletics and another area of life.
