Girls and sports is the biggest and the best
short cut to women’s empowerment. Every
time a sporty girl takes the time out to play,
she’s learning the art of balancing. A
competitive spirit, how to take defeat, how to
celebrate your win with the person you have
defeated, teamwork, confidence and the ability
to stay fit, this is what you learn.

61. NEVER GIVE UP !!!
