Playing sports can help girls feel like they belong to something.
Girl athletes know they are strong, and they know they can reach their goals. 500 companies have a background in sports. Not only that, but exercising when you are young can make a big difference in what happens to your body when you get older. Girls who exercise as kids are not as likely to get overweight or have heart disease, back problems, and bone problems when they grow up. And kids that exercise usually grow up to become adults that exercise.
