In partnership with PCA, Dove, and Gotham FC, we’re excited to present a powerful webinar designed to revolutionize the sports experience for young female athletes. At the heart of this conversation is Body Confident Sport—a high-quality, research-backed resource created to equip coaches with the tools to foster inclusive, empowering environments where every athlete feels valued for who they are and what their bodies can achieve. Nearly half of girls who drop out of sports cite body-related pressures, including being told they have the “wrong” body type.
The Body Confident Sport program helps to change the narrative, supporting coaches as critical influencers in helping girls build confidence, stay in the game, and thrive both on and off the field. In this session, we’ll hear from a Dove expert, a professional coach, and current and former athletes as they share practical strategies, personal stories, and scientific insights that can help shape a more inclusive and supportive future for girls in sport.
We’ll also spotlight Gotham FC’s Keep Her in the Game initiative, presented by Dove, which addresses the high dropout rate of girls in sports by age 14. Through unique player access, moments of joy, and coach and parent engagement, KHITG empowers trusted adults to help girls and gender expansive youth strengthen their leadership, find their voices, and stay connected to sport.
Although this session is designed for youth coaches, it is open to anyone interested—including parents, administrators, and fans who want to be part of a more inclusive and supportive youth sports culture. Join us as we help to #KeepHerConfident and #KeepHerInTheGame!
