Launching today (Sept. 6), Barbie's 2023 Career of the Year collection unveils four new Barbies working in the world of sports, aimed at empowering the next generation of female leaders in the industry.

The Career of the Year collection is an annual special release that features dolls in "culturally relevant and aspirational roles in fields where women are underrepresented," Mattel explains in its press release. According to the company, Barbie has had more than 250 careers.

"Women have been working towards greater gender equality in sports for decades, but still in 2023, women only make up 25 percent of U.S. college level head coaches and only 30 percent of global sports participants are women," Mattel writes. "This year, our Career of the Year lineup highlights four careers in the sports industry...to encourage girls to pursue involvement in sports and increase opportunities for girls as the next generation of empowered women."
