Do you remember being a high school athlete? Memories of the glory days may come to mind at first, but if you think harder for many of us it was much more complex than that.
Moving Traditions (www.movingtraditions.org) is gathering adolescent girls to explore their own personal values and talk about issues that are important to them. In addition to sport, they are addressing important topics such as financial planning, stress management, media literacy, body image and social activism.
I'm flattered to have the opportunity to present:
Girls on the Field: More girls today are playing sports than ever before. In addition to great physical activity, sports can provide girls and women with important opportunities to grow their confidence and self-esteem, and learn about being part of a team. With these opportunities also come some challenges—for example, how do you balance sports and schoolwork, or your needs versus the team's? What about when you and a friend are competing for the same spot on a team or the team feels divided over an issue? In this interactive game-oriented session with Becky Conway-Roulier, a sport psychology consultant at the Doc Wayne Clinic (www.docwayne.org), participants will explore strategies to bring their own values into their performance on and off the field. (Please note: this session will be held outside, weather permitting.)
