Female Athletes

Female Leadership

Female leadership can be developed through events and seminars, where female athletes present their testimonials and celebrate their success. Through our courses we emphasize mentoring and encouragement of young girls to become consumers of female sports. We discuss how female athletes can push for social change by publicly urging people outside the sporting world, especially those in positions of power or hierarchy, to publicly praise and support female athletes and empower them to become role models themselves.

There is compelling evidence to suggest that role models are an important component in the development of females, whether that be on the field of play, in the office, in politics, or social service. Female sport role models (as are male role models for that matter) are important since adolescent girls are bombarded with images of external beauty, instead of images of quality characteristics, usually found in female athletes. Our program discusses extensively how female sport role models can instil confidence, strong work ethic and even an emphasis on education. Confidence and leadership, teamwork and cooperation are all very important as qualities, which many female athletes exemplify and young girls need.
