Girls who play team sports
David Benzel, Founder of Growing Champions for Life, shared some information regarding girls being involved in sports.
Girls who play team sports are more likely to:
- Graduate from College
- Find a job
- Be employed in male-dominated industries
- Earn a higher salary in later life
But Girls are also 6 times more likely than boys to quit sports early!
This means parents creating a positive, confidence building environment at home, and coaches doing the same at practices/competitions, is essential if we want to keep girls in sports…especially when they suffer setbacks.
