Game Changers: Stories of Hijabi Athletes from Around the World

Charlene Smith

Thirteen Muslim women and girls share their experiences as athletes, including runners, basketball players, beach volleyball players, hockey players, soccer players, and more. Many are the first competitors in their sports to wear a hijab. Their profiles describe obstacles ranging from traditions that restrict girls’ sports participation to institutional anti-hijab rules, as well as efforts to change those rules so Muslim girls can compete.
