Celebrate Girls and Women in Sports!

It's National Girls and Women in Sports Day.  

In the comments below, celebrate by telling us about a girl or woman you know who is strong, bold, and active. I am always impressed by @hkspence pictured here.

Physical activity decreases stress in girls and fosters self-esteem, teamwork, and leadership. Visit @womenssportsfoundation for resources and tips to inspire and support the girls in our life to be active. 

Research suggests we can facilitate regular physical activity and be supportive of positive sporting experiences for girls by building on their natural enjoyment in physical activities. Encourage them to participate  as fully as possible in whatever forms offer them satisfaction and opportunities for achievement.
