women and sports

Hi everyone,

I get so excited when I see young women on the track, in the field or on the pitch. As women we have come a long way in getting many young women to participate and exploit their talents. I think as young people we should encourage and celebrate those women who have made it in sports and those who promote it. I have come to realize with the work that I do that sports can not be used for social change. It is important that we encourage young women and girls to participate in various healthy activities that work to better their lives and promote healthy living through exercise.

I am proud to say that one of our facilitators, Carol is one or the great sports women in our country. Carol lease continue the great work that you are doing with young women and girls in our country.

Have a great day and I look forward to reading your post and comments.
