A Breakfast Info Bites webinar session
Data shows girls participate less in sports and drop out at higher rates than boys. They also may face many obstacles to enjoying their sports experiences, such as gender bias from coaches and a lack of body confidence.
Join Anna Goorevich from the University of Minnesota Tucker Center for Research on Girls & Women in Sport to learn about Coaching HER and Body Confident Sport. The two evidence-based digital-coaching education programs developed by the Tucker Center aim to remove gender stereotypes and cultivate body-positive environments to keep girls in sports.
