We know that girls drop out of sport at an alarming rate, and we’re still working on solutions this problem.
On Page 9 of The Canadian Women and Sport's She Belongs Report there’s a great graphic that illustrates a key concept to coaching girls that's an immediate solution:
Girls want to connect first, which leads to effort, performance and a positive sport experience.
Boys will often bring effort and perform, which leads to making friends and then a positive sport experience.
By simply bringing connection to the forefront of your sessions, girls are likely to better compete and perform in sport.
