Breaking Barriers: How Sports Set Young Women Up For Success
In this session, we’ll explore how sports empower young women and set them up for success. We’ll discuss the barriers that still exist and how we’ve built a program to break them down by providing access, opportunities, and representation. We’ll share data from a first of its kind large-scale, multi-generational, cross-sectional study of American girls and women aged 9 to 75. We’ll highlight how crucial it is to show young women what’s possible and demonstrate how sports are a powerful tool for leadership and empowerment, shaping the future for generations to come.
