Quit Sports Research Paper

At a young age, some girls may say that they want to be professional athlete when they grow up. Most can’t imagine not playing sports while they are in high school. However the numbers show something else. By the time most girls turn 14, they drop out of the sport they enjoyed playing just years before. This happens twice as fast as it does to boys. By the age of 17, more than half percent of girls make the decision to quit sports, according to a survey sponsored by Always.

Seven of ten girls who quit sports during this time period felt that they just didn’t belong in sports. 67% said that society doesn’t encourage girls to play sports.
