GirlsRock is Olin’s newest venture, launched to engage and enhance the professional lives of girls in basketball. His experience working with youth, high school, collegiate, and WNBA players gave the conscienceless to recognize that females in sports, do not get the tutelage, mentorship, acknowledgment, celebration, and financial empowerment of their male counterparts. GirlsRock does not only lean into training fiercely competitive female players, but also provides the mentorship, professional guidance, and commercial placements that they deserve.
