They succeeded in making a difference while respecting and celebrating&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;diversity with regard to gender, ethnicity, culture, disability, age and sexual&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;orientation. Beginning with a brief discussion on the underrepresentation of women’s&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;sports and the female athlete in the Greek media, this chapter shares the contributions&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;of some inspiring and motivating Greek women in sport whose achievements have&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;been excluded from the country’s mainstream media. It is through six in-depth&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;interviews and follow-up meetings that we learn how these pioneers influenced the&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;lives of sporting girls and women by daring to disregard social barriers and spread&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;awareness. We conclude the chapter with &lt;em&gt;tips &lt;/em&gt;from these &lt;em&gt;successful&lt;/em&gt;, namely&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;inspirational women, who all agree that success requires ethos and &lt;em&gt;taking that leap&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;a id=&quot;LPlnk984529&quot; href=&quot;http://www.ngime.ufjf.br/wp-content/uploads/Europa_opt.pdf&quot; title=&quot;http://www.ngime.ufjf.br/wp-content/uploads/Europa_opt.pdf
