Workshops in 2012
|
Our 2011 conference Play or Peak Performance, brought together national and Virginia experts in sports medicine and other medical fields, health policy, exercise sciences, and program development, as well as former athletes, to discuss the impacts of activity and sports on the physical, mental, and development health of girls, teens and young women as well as ways to help active girls and athletes have better outcomes. We are planning programs that will explore in greater depth how to motivate girls to get and stay active and ways to reduce injuries from sports participation. If you want to help bring a workshop to your region, contact us. |
