Bonnie-Jill Laflin: Author of "In a League of Her Own"

Sports Business Conversations

We’ll get into her many MANY roles during our chat, but I will say that the first (and still only ) female NBA scout recently added another experience to her already poly-hyphenated career: author.

Bonnie Jill’s new book, “In a League of Her Own” is a testament to the many female “firsts” in sports and sports business. In it she features insights and interviews with iconic figures like Billie Jean King, Danica Patrick, and Jackie Joyner Kersee.

In our conversation, we talk about Bonnie Jill’s remarkable sports journey, the common threads she saw in the women she interviewed for the book, and even what she learned about herself while writing it. We’ll also find out if she’s a ninja. Her answer probably won’t surprise you…
