Girls should take part in competitive
sport to b
uild confidence and
resilience,
the leader of a group of
girls' schools will argue this week.

就此话题展开讨论。
Helen Fraser,
chief executive of the Girls Day School Trust
(GDST), will tell the
group's
conference that sport can help girls cope with
failure.
All
girls
will say.
Research that girls are far less active
than boys is w
orrying, she argues.

Not

GDST
The GDST draws
on research from the
Women's Sport and
Fitness Foundation wh
ich
suggests only a quart
er of
girls in England meet current recommended levels
of
physic
al activity each
week, with the proportion taking part in regular
sport
falling steeply after the age
of 10.
One
in

girls
do
no
physical
activity
at
all,
twice
the
proportion
of
boys,
the
research suggests.
Ms
Fraser
says
other
research
suggests
that
more
than
80%

growing up.
She
says
similar

of

executives
believe
sport
made
them
more
disciplined, resili

competitive in their careers.
