FitSpirit has brought together experts, sports enthusiasts and public personalities to discuss the practice of physical activity among adolescent girls. Getting active on a regular basis is a terrific tool that is known to prevent anxiety and help manage stress.
What conditions should we establish to ensure that girls can fulfil their potential, benefit from positive experiences, and be motivated to persevere through physical activity?
With this podcast, FitSpirit offers concrete tips for parents of girls of all ages. From time management to performance stress, and from the intuitive approach to movement and the social aspects of sports, our guests share their thoughts and knowledge with counselor Émilie Duquette and Geneviève Leduc, PhD, specialist in physical activity among children and adolescent girls at FitSpirit.
