THE STORIES OF WSF'S IMPACT

#PlayToLead

As we at WSF rejoice in 50 years of changing the game, our latest research report, “Play to Lead: The Generational Impact of Sport on Women’s Leadership,” proves why we all must work together to propel our vital mission into the next 50 years.

Youth Sports Fuel Women’s Leadership and It Is Time to Prioritize Participation

Play to Lead is more than a research report, it is a call to action for all to prioritize youth sports participation, proving that the skills, traits and experiences girls learn from sports transcend the field of play, and have the ability to build a vibrant leadership pipeline that benefits society and bolsters the economy. Its findings shine a critical light on why we must invest in youth sports programs because the report shows that girls who play sports, at any level, will develop the skills to lead in their communities, schools and future workplaces.

How to Get Involved and Spread the Word

We invite you to join our #PlayToLead social media campaign and share how your personal sports journey has helped you lead throughout your life. Your participation will help place a spotlight on the fact that sport is more than just a game – it is a vital tool in nurturing the next generation of leaders who will shape our world.
