As we train our summer coaches for our upcoming Leadership Academy, we look to our founder, Dr. Ellen Markowitz, an athlete and life-long advocate for positive youth development through sports, for a dive into better understanding self-esteem in our young women. As she explored this concept during her doctoral program, she began to discover its layers and complexity. Fortunately for us, Ellen dropped by this morning to touch on self-esteem and principles of youth development to make our upcoming program a huge success. Our coaches are absorbing all they can and you can too – read all about her findings on self-esteem here.
