In 2010, Nike ignited the Make Yourself movement to inspire and motivate women everywhere to achieve their goals and become the best 'versions' of themselves, whatever this may be: fit,
proud, fast, healthy, strong or beautiful... Inspiration meets aspiration - unveiling the Make Yourself Team. The Make Yourself Team is a collection of elite female athletes who have reached
the top of their professions and are passionate about making themselves the best they can possibly be. Brought together by Nike from a variety of sports and different walks of life, they are
authentic, charismatic and committed women who embody the Make Yourself philosophy - with hard work and dedication, anyone can overcome obstacles to improve their lives and reach
their goals.
As part of the Make Yourself campaign shot by Annie Leibovitz, the team shares their inspirational life stories, fitness routines and goals to encourage women across the world to put a
stake in the ground and start making themselves too.
