#267 - Jill Edwards | Something Special Breakaway

In this episode of In The LOOP Podcast, we sit down with Jill Edwards, the founder of the Something Special Breakaway, to talk about how one mother’s vision helped reshape youth breakaway roping.

What started as a solution for her 10 year old daughter has grown into one of the most impactful all girls breakaway roping events in the country, serving competitors from ages 8 to 16. Now heading into its sixth year, the Something Special Breakaway has paid out nearly $100,000 in money and prizes, while creating a positive, high level platform for young female athletes to compete, grow, and belong.

If you care about the future of breakaway roping, youth athletics, or empowering young women through competition, this episode offers insight, perspective, and a powerful reminder that championships are defined by how you respond, not just by the result.
