Dr. Hillyer, founder of The Center for Sport, Peace, and Society at The University of Tennessee and leader of the U.S. State Department's Global Sports Mentoring Program (GSMP) has accepted our invitation to contribute and we could not be prouder to associate with such a significant personality and leader in women’s sports,” said SportsEdTV Founder and Chairman, Robert Mazzucchelli.

“Sarah Hillyer’s contributions to the world of sportswomen have rippled through over 80 countries, impacting thousands, using sports as a medium to inspire, mentor and lead and with the State Department’s program earned the Stuart Scott Humanitarian award in 2018, and in the same year, Prince Albert of Monaco (Peace & Sport) recognized the GSMP as “Best Diplomatic Accomplishment” of 2018, testimony to how admired she is,” added Victor Bergonzoli, CEO SportsEdTV.

Dr. Hillyer received her doctoral degree in the Sociocultural Study of Sports from the University of Tennessee in 2010.

We do expect people who use our educational resources to become their champion, by whatever definition they view success in their chosen sport. For some, success is making the varsity team, for others, it’s becoming country champion, and for others still, it may simply be gaining proficiency at a sport that offers a lifetime of fun and fitness. “
