Founded in 2002 with the mission of providing an intimate, boutique experience that focuses on customer service, American Benefit Partners (ABP) provides an array of health insurance services to individuals, families, and corporations. As the owner of ABP, Leslie Carlet has her hands full.
However, that doesn’t keep her from pursuing another passion.
“I probably spend 50 percent of my day thinking about football and fantasy football,” Leslie says.
Knocking On The Door
Football?
Yes. Football. NFL to be exact. She got hooked on it while in college and hasn’t turned back. After spending a few years screaming at the TV, she decided to start a fantasy football league. At the end of the season, she was in dead last. Before the next season, she did her homework and took the top spot in her league. Currently, she is in a fantasy league with a college football player, a professional football player, and some others—including a few women.
But Leslie isn’t not the only woman interested in football, and it’s not all about fantasy football. (Interesting fact: Each year, a woman has come out on top in Leslie’s fantasy league.) In fact, a whopping one-third of the 150 million folks who watched the 2010 Super Bowl were women. When Leslie learned that, she started to talk football with women she knew.
To her surprise, many of them loved football and would scream their heads off during a game, but they didn’t understand much about the sport. That’s when a light bulb went off inside Leslie’s head. Instead of chatting up a few women who grasped the game she loved, while other women were left grasping for straws, Leslie founded LadysFootball.com.
“The goal of LadysFootball.com is to go after the everywoman who wants to learn more about football,” Leslie says, “so I built a safe site that is inviting to women of all levels of football knowledge.”
