As part of Women's Sport Week 2016 we are asking the question which woman has inspired you, and we've asked some big names...
From the Sky Sports experts to the Sky Sports Scholars we have got the conversation started on the women who have shaped our sporting lifestyles.
Alongside former world boxing champion Carl Froch we have spoken to Rachel Riley, former England cricket captain and Sky Sports commentator Nasser Hussain, and World Cup winner rugby centre Will Greenwood on the roles that women have played in inspiring their careers and sporting dreams.
Sky scholar Siobhan Marie O'Connor won silver at Rio 2016 and she reveals the Olympic star who has inspired her, while Sky Sports experts David Lloyd, Sean Fitzpatrick and Alan Smith also get involved in the conversation.
Now we want you to join in the debate at our Facebook page and also tweet us @SportswomenSky using the #MyInspirationalWoman
Single parent, worked three jobs and raised three boys on her own.<p>She got me through some of the toughest periods of my career including four operations.
For driving to and from sports events
My mum had me when she was told I had spina bifida, so I can't think of anyone more deserving.
Lancastrian to the core, madder than a box of frogs, never missed a game.<p> A wonderful opportunity to tell her how grateful I am without having ever done it properly
My mum Elsie. When my dad was at work she would take me on two or three buses to get to a match, standing on the sideline in the rain before taking me home.
When I became a professional she rarely missed a home match and went to many away games. Support like that means a lot.
Rose Fitzgibbon and Ann Murphy - they have both been long retired but were influential in my development in cricket.
Rose, many would say, ran Lancashire Country Cricket Club - she became club secretary - many, many players throughout the 50s through to the 90s were influenced by Rose.
Her sister Ann was the 'fixer'...anything that needed sorted or doing, go to Ann.
As I say, they are long retired - Rose will now be in her 80s with Ann not far behind.
I used to train in Stradey, Llanelli RFC gound when I was in U16s and youth.<p>There was a young lady in a wheelchair called Lisa Pudner. She used to compete in weightlifting.<p>She always inspired me with her strength and attitude to training and life.

In terms of my career and giving me the confidence to go out and do what I do, and probably being the only teacher that ever really believed in me when I was at senior school - my drama teacher Mrs Farr was amazing.
Never one to judge, always someone who saw potential in even the most unruly of students - and there were times when I was a bit loud.
She gave me the confidence to handle any situation, think on my feet and express myself in the right way and generally make me feel good about myself. And I even escaped with an O level in drama as well, which given that I only got 4/11 was a pretty good effort.
