Being physically active is one of the most important things you can do to increase your self-confidence and self-esteem. Being physically active is also one of the most important things you can do to be healthy. Studies have shown that higher levels of self-esteem and lower levels of depression in girls can be linked to playing sports. Women and girls who are healthy and happy are more likely to be able to make meaningful contributions to their communities, families and careers. It is important to all of us that girls and women are encouraged to be active and have access to all of the opportunities possible to become active. Goddess Concepts is committed to helping raise awareness of the benefits of physical activity to girls and women as well as working with organizations to make access to their programs more equitable for girls and women.
