Buckle up — this is going to be a great one!
Doc & The Block recently sat down with Jennifer Sey: best-selling author, advocate for women in sports, successful businesswoman, and more.
Jennifer Sey has been advocating for women and children for nearly two decades. In 2008, she authored “Chalked Up,” a groundbreaking book exposing abusive coaching practices in gymnastics. Despite impressive credentials — seven-time National Team Member and 1986 National Champion — the gymnastics establishment did not welcome her revelations. Yet, Jen persisted, and ultimately, the truth prevailed.
Jen spoke out again in 2020, advocating for keeping public schools open during COVID, emphasizing the critical importance of children’s education. Her stance led to ostracization and damaged relationships within her community, but she remained steadfast. Again, truth prevailed.
Beyond advocacy, Jen has excelled professionally, recognized twice by Forbes as one of the Most Influential Chief Marketing Officers.
Now, leveraging her experience as an elite athlete, executive, and fierce advocate, she’s building XX-XY Athletics—a brand uniquely dedicated to supporting women’s sports.
And she’s sitting down with Doc & The Block to share decades of wisdom and experience.
