Being a trailbelder in the Bilsbol is not new for Justin Segal. In fact, that’s the person’s moon.
It may be due to its resistance. When he hears ‘no’, the knee reaction of the spine is to charging “all steam in front” — as he was 16 years old and the coach told him to waste his time and waste the same career.
Segal, who is now 50, said, “No man will never listen to a woman at the Bisbol Stadium. He was 50 years old. So I went to this great job.”

Play the ball, WPBL style
Segal is currently supplying its energy to the launch of WPBL in He added that he welcomes the challenge to create a course from scratch and is grateful that there are examples that you must follow.
“It’s very pleasant to be at an opportunity to build a way for others,” he said.

Despite the sponsors that secured WPBL and the recent increase in investment in women’s sports –, especially in basketball and football — One of the initial challenges for Segal is how much new women’s basketballs are for the scene.

“He is one of those people who made the game bigger in his own country,” Segal said. “I remember when he started for the first time and is now 30 years old. He has a team of his team that he looked at him when they were young and are now in the same team.
In addition, WPBL has two special advisors. US-based women’s Bysbol star Alex Hugo will be responsible for the development and employment of players, and former Toronto Blue Jaiz, the first black man in MLB to win a world title in 1992 and 1993, borrows his expertise.
Segal believes that real Bysbol fans have a place in their hearts for WPBL.
“It’s not just because women play,” he said. “That’s a good competition. That’s nice. Hot doga. We want to come out for our games (to the park).
go to Bat for equality
Segal began to build his vision of the Girls and Women’s Bisbols two decades ago, when he created Sparks in 2003, a team of all girls competing for boys. It was the only girls’ team that constantly participated in one of the biggest boys’ Bisboli tournaments in the country, playing in the Cooperation Dreams Park near the National Bisbol Hall.

The following year, Segal became the first woman to throw a kick for an MLB team — and to someone else except her boyfriend in Cleveland during spring training.
“My dream was to play for the current Guardian Cleveland. “I went to all the games. I slept right next to me with my knife knife. I would wake up and swell in my bedroom and go back to my bed. That was definitely my dream.
The advanced MLB was established four years later, when he became a guest coach in 2015 in their own training course.
Segal’s first list is not limited to the United States. She is the first woman to professionally coach in Japan and Mexico.
“I definitely felt that I had made history because I had done a lot of work just to reach that point… but I just felt happy,” he said.
For now, Segal says he will embrace the “raping” role of cleaning a path for girls and women he was not available.
“I dream of being Orel Hertser, Nolan Ryan. But now you can dream of Sato or (friends of the women’s bisbols) Gabi Weles or Kelsy Whitmore,” Segal said. “Now there are examples you have to look at and that’s very important.
