Coach Yelton: Girls in Sports

   February 12, 2024

We talked with UWF Women’s Basketball Coach Stephanie Yelton about her team’s last two games against nationally ranked Union and Christian Brothers as they prepare for the Gulf South Conference tournament.

We also discussed the importance of sports in helping young girls develop confidence. Forty-five percent of girls are quitting sports, and low body confidence is the #1 reason why. Dove has teamed with @nike to create the Body Confident Sport program – our free, evidence-based tool designed to help sports coaches support girls on their teams, build their body confidence, and keep them in the game.
