Avoid weigh-ins as doing so only reinforces the importance of body weight. Appreciate and accept individual differences in body shape and size. Be especially careful in handling early maturing and pubescent females who are sensitive about their developing body. Provide feedback related to the athlete's performance not her weight. Make time for discussions about harmful weight loss strategies such as the use of laxatives and appetite suppressants.
Women believe it and take it to heart.
