Thank you Patsy Mink and Title IX!! 40 years of equality in sports has lead to a strong American field in the Olympics. Women took gold in soccer, beating Japan 2-1 after losing to Japan in the World Cup last year on penalty kicks.
40 years ago they say that 1 in 27 girls played sports and now the number is 2 in 5 girls are active in sports.
I know what that training, dedication and perseverance takes. I am so proud of every single girl I had the pleasure of coaching. They have given me so much inspiration, and hope for all young women.
