Today is National Girls and Women in Sports Day. Started in 1987, it brings attention to the positive influence that sports participation has and to how it advances equality. The Women’s Sports Foundation encourages moms to get more involved with their daughter’s sports. Their website, womenssportsfoundation.org, gives lots of advice on how to get involved, prevent discrimination, and increase participation, along with information on coaching issues, clinics, funding, and more. Sports can be a huge help with young girls’ self-confidence, skill, determination, and inner success, all of which can carry through into their later years. If you succeed in sports, you lead in life.
