PEAC- Train Like a Girl: enhancing performance & wellbeing of GIRLS IN SPORT

Understanding The Value of 1%: Jenna's Journey #4

Jenna shares her journey through 11 years of running, including high school track and competing at UW-Platteville. Jenna also worked as an intern at PEAC. She discusses the importance of being a multi-sport athlete, including her time swimming in high school to give her body a break from the repetitive stress of running.
Jenna highlights how track is more individually focused compared to other sports. She notes that while some athletes participate for social reasons, others are driven to challenge themselves and improve. Both motivations are valid and beneficial.
Her college cross country coach emphasized inclusivity, stating that anyone can be on the team, but not get in the way those aiming to become national champions. This underscores the balance between having fun and striving for peak performance in sports.
Jenna touches on the SOCIAL DYNAMICS of GIRLS in sport. She observes that girls who are more focused on their sport may not always be well-received by their peers, highlighting the different SOCIAL PRESSURE faced by boys and girls. Jenna is passionate about showing girls they can pursue their goals without feeling overpowering. She advocates for healthy competition, where one girl's success doesn't diminish another's.
The episode concludes with a call to action for better support and visibility for girls' sports in high school, suggesting that showcasing girls' achievements and increasing viewership can lead to greater participation and enthusiasm, rather than focusing solely on traditional boys' sports like football.
