As a confident, independent woman whose created success in virtually every other area of my life, somehow the insecurities I felt playing sports as a child have stayed with me into adulthood.



As the wife of a sports marketing executive and mother of two girls, I knew sports would be part of our lives. Yet when my daughters started playing, it was a disaster! They both hated their classes. I was determined to figure out why.



So I watched. Their classes were simply: boys on one side, girls on the other. The lesson was identical. But the responses couldn’t have been more dissimilar.



My daughter was afraid to take the ball away from the girl on the other team because she thought the girl would be mad at her. The girls seemed to have a more mental and social mindset best described this way: “Boys need to play well to have fun, while girls need to have fun to play well.”

If girls approach and play differently, why are they being taught the same way?



I decided to create a sports program for young girls emphasizing physical skill development, communication and teamwork while building character, confidence and self-esteem.
