Athletics has the power to change lives. As the recent Beijing Winter Olympics has shown us, sporting achievement sees no gender. In fact, it has the ability to drive gender equality by teaching girls and women teamwork, self-reliance, resilience and confidence
At CIS, our female athletes make up about half of the number of students participating in all Grizzly teams, including soccer, basketball, volleyball, swimming, badminton and track and field. We know that with maximum female participation in sports, we can build a future where every girl and woman can play, be active and realize her full potential, both in sport and in life. We talked to one of our athletes, Anita, to find out how CIS is developing leadership through athletics. #GirlPoweratCIS
