Mounting Olympus

The original 12 Olympians were split equally between females and males. We're not quite there yet with our own Olympic teams, but we're getting closer. Now if we could get more women as sports commentators!

Also, did you know that high school female athletes are 20% more likely to graduate and go to college? Additionally, girls who plays sports are half as likely to become pregnant in high school. These same girls will also make better grades than their non-sport playing counterparts and be more likely to earn higher salaries later in life.

So future Olympians or not, keep encouraging the young ladies in your life to get out on a field, a court, or a slope.
