Tarleton State University Department of Sports Science hosted 40 local young women for resilience leadership and empowerment training recently as part of Strong Girls United.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are so fortunate to have the opportunity to partner with Strong Girls United,\u201d said organizer\u00a0Rachel Elms, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Sports Science.<\/a>\u00a0\u201cNot only is it important to support women and girls in sports, but this event has given our sport management students the unique chance to teach mental skills to young, female athletes from the Erath County community that will equip them for a lifetime.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The girls learned breathing strategies in a competition scenario, mental health skills for high-pressure situations, and team building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese skills I believe are critical to learn and use from an early age,\u201d Dr. Elms said. \u201cThe physical side of sport and competition is important, but we also support the mental\/emotional side.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the training, the girls attended the Tarleton women\u2019s basketball game against Stephen F. Austin State University. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mission of Strong Girls United is to empower young women to be strong, confident and resilient through sport and physical activity alongside mental health and well-being activities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
