I have been preaching the benefits of girls participating in sports for years. I read an article a long time ago that stuck with me about how significant it is for girls to participate in sports, if only for a few years. The confidence and understanding of your own power alone is a tremendous benefit to the character and discipline needed for girls. I found some great websites and articles that include research on this very subject and wanted to get them to you.
