Jess Sims is adding another title to her growing sports resume.
Jess has been named to the inaugural SPORT BEACH Women’s Leadership Council, Fueled by Gatorade.
The council, launched by the sports-and-culture platform SPORT BEACH, brings together athletes, coaches, and industry leaders to push for greater visibility, representation, and leadership opportunities for women across sport.
It is set up as a working group that tackles one issue each year and delivers a recommendation for how brands, leagues, teams, and platforms can drive progress. In its first year, the focus is on elevating female coaches as role models and building stronger pathways for women in coaching.
The group is co-chaired by Basketball Hall of Famer and broadcaster Candace Parker, SPORT BEACH CEO Beth Sidhu, and Jasper Advisors founder Julie Andreeff Jensen. Other members include gymnast and two-time Olympian Jordan Chiles, broadcasters Elle Duncan and Sarah Spain, Los Angeles Lakers assistant coach Lindsey Harding, and brand leaders from companies like Nike, Visa, and Gatorade.
Jess fits into the group through her dual career. Alongside teaching at Peloton, she is an ESPN reporter who has covered College GameDay since 2022 and recently hosted ESPN’s “Courtside” altcast at the Women’s Final Four.
SPORT BEACH announced the council on Instagram, writing:
