"The triumph cannot be had without the struggle. And I know what struggle is. I have spent a lifetime trying to share what it has meant to be a woman first in the world of sports so that other young women have a chance to reach their dreams."
Wilma Rudolph
First American woman runner to win three gold medals at a single Olympics. 1940-1994
In 1972 Title IX (nine..I'm horrible at the Roman numerals too) was part of legislation passed in the Education Amendments that requires schools receive federal funds to provide girls and women with equal opportunity to compete in sports. That was the year the three mamas were born, so we don't know what it's like to live in a world without girls sports and for this, we are thankful. Research suggests that girls who participate in sports are more likely to experience academic success and graduate from high school than those that do not play sports. Half of all girls that play sports experience higher levels of self-esteem, and less depression. They are also less likely to use drugs, or get pregnant. It's a no brainer-girls sports rock!
One of my favorite catalogues is Title Nine.
Each month I sit and read the catalogue like a magazine. The models are all real life people, and they even attach little bios (e.g. So and so, nick name Monkey, loves raisins and rock climbing). Customer service is beyond attentive. Prices reasonable. Quality, top notch. For the female athlete looking for a quality item, and looking to support a company who states in their mission statement "WE LIKE DESSERTS", look no further.
For the well endowed athlete, you've found your holy grail. Sports bra coaches on call. Oh yes. They also offer C cup-DD cup swimwear. Hip hip hurray!
Name your sport: running, triathon, outdoor adventure, tennis, cycling, maternity fitness? Heck. make up a sport, they probably have something for it. They have everything.
Shoes? Accessories? Yep. Those too.
Title 9 gets a
for their commitment to womans sports, a bra coach, an awesome selection and for liking desserts. Like we say, life is short, make it haute (and eat dessert first).
In the life every people live with struggle.In the life when you are live with struggle then you are success.
