The Women's Sports Foundation found that mental health disorders are 1.5 to 2.5 times lower for girls who play sports vs. those who have never played. So, is it a coincidence that it’s National Physical Fitness and Sports Month and National Mental Health Awareness Month? You decide.

That’s a wrap! Congratulations to all the students who competed in the Nebraska State Spring Sports Finals. Remember: it’s not about how many games you win but what you learn from those games. Don’t settle; keep working hard. #EPICforGirls #GirlsPlaySports #SpringSports

There’s nothing like the moment a young dancer turns nerves into confidence on stage. The lights, the crowd — all fade away as they own every step and move. Confidence isn’t about being perfect, it’s about being brave enough to keep dancing through the fear. ✨💃 #EPICforGirls

This is what strength looks like. 😔 Many girls quit sports because of body image pressure. Let’s flip the script: Muscles = power. Sweat = pride. Every girl’s body is a sports body. #EPICforGirls #EmpowermentInProgress #OwnYourPower #AllBodiesPlay

🎤 In 2018, only 4% of sports media focused on women and girls; by 2023, it rose to 15%. With limited coverage, we must amplify our support so young girls know they're not just seen, but celebrated for their athletic pursuits. #EPICforGirls #YouGoGirl #EqualPlay

$883. That’s the amount an average family spends per season on youth sports, according to The Aspen Institute’s Project Play. For too many families, that means sports are off the table. We fund programs so all girls get a chance to play. #EPICforGirls #SportsForAll

Girls who participate in sports report higher levels of confidence and lower levels of depression. But that kind of impact doesn’t happen on its own, it takes a village. We’re looking for volunteers for our next event. Sign up: tinyurl.com/zjwv5zuy #EPICforGirls #Volunteer
