Berman came to the NWSL last spring after spending time in the front office at the NHL and National Lacrosse League where she learned that any sports league is fueled by investment."That operational rigor and professionalism and business orientation hasn't historically existed in women's sports," she said, noting that she sees the league has reached a"pivot point" where people's mindsets are changing.
But change is positive.

"I'm excited what the world is opening up to them without as much friction," Wadors said."Not that the friction is completely gone. Let's be clear, but we're on the right track."
