Women and Girls Sports Day


💚Happy National Girls and Women Sports Day💚 Honoring my Astrid Roberts on this day.  She has loved every sport she has tried.  She still runs, works out, plays organized soccer, competes in races.  

The National Girls and Women in Sports Day (NGWSD) is an annual day of observance held during the first week of February to acknowledge the accomplishments of female athletes, recognize the influence of sports participation for women and girls, and honor the progress and advocation for equality for women in sport. 

Girls and women who play sports have higher levels of confidence and self-esteem and lower levels of depression. Girls and women who play sports have a more positive body image and experience higher states of psychological well-being than girls and women who do not play sports.
