Justine Siegal: Baseball For All

Not by the Playbook

Available for over a year

Challenging attitudes in traditionally male dominated sport is a long and difficult struggle, and even when you've made it, the challenge never ends. There are few, if any, better qualified baseball coaches than Justine Siegel. Yet despite that, the first female coach to be employed by a Major League team still finds opportunities few and far between. She's been telling us the story behind her pioneering career and why she still feels held back from achieving all her goals and her "Baseball For All" foundation, encouraging young women to play the game.
