About this episode
This episode discusses the reasons behind the high dropout rates of girls in sports and explores solutions to keep them engaged.
Girls are dropping out of sports at twice the rate of boys by middle school. In this episode, we break down why it’s happening—and more importantly, what actually keeps girls in the game. We talk about confidence, environment, and how Mighty Oak Athletic and Sunday Funday Sports are building a better model for long-term participation.
