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.
