Girls sports assembly
I teach K-8 PE at my school in AZ. One of my former female students is coming back in town and I want to hold an all-girl assembly to promote girls in sports. For so long now, I’ve seen these little rough and tough girls come into kindergarten and love sports and games, compete with the boys, play hard, etc. Then, around 4th grade, they start to act like they have no interest in playing anything.
This former student of mine just finished her first semester as a D1 athlete (basketball) at the U of A. Towards the end of her high school career, she was in Australia at the Australian Institute of Sport and traveled with the 19u National Team last summer.
So I want to bring her in, have her talk to the girls about the benefits of team sports, what it really takes to play at the next level, and how she has seemed to overcome this self-doubt phenomena that I have seen just stop some girls in their tracks.
I guess the whole point of this post is, what questions should I be asking to kind of get that out of her? Thanks for reading this.
