Lifelong Lessons

Why care about girls' sports? As a society we should care because sport provides a wealth of benefits for participants. Societies where women have a reduced role have lower productivity by excluding half the population from leadership, management, and full education. 

  • Better mental health and self-esteem
  • Higher academic performance
  • Superior graduation rates
  • Reduced breast cancer rate and osteoporosis (thin bones)
  • Excellence in long-term achievement - "80% of the female executives at Fortune 500 companies identified themselves as former “tomboys”—having played sports."
  • Lower teenage pregnancy rates
  • Sport teaches time management, balancing court and classroom
  • Sport teaches discipline, doing what you may not 'like' now to earn rewards that you want later.
