Do you think in terms of keeping girls in sport, is that primary school age, like the, the key focus area? Is that gonna obviously give them more chance of staying in or what sort of ha- Like we all know they drop out so high in adolescence.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's a, it's a, it's, it's a life stage thing, so it's all about probabilities.

So of course the more skilled and connected through sport and the more positive experiences you have, feeling less pressured, less focused on winning and, and you have the, the breadth of skills to engage in sports, but also the, the confidence in actually being able to do that.

So clearly that is important, but then the teenage years are just another hu- the, the biggest risk period as well, so there is, there are still support and strategies.

So those girls who have, are more confident in sport and you've had that skill set and positive experiences are more likely, but still the teenage years are unique.

... is that, does that help c- get them started in sport versus if they just joined a team, they're obviously participating with a different coach and other students? How's, how does that really close relationship differ from just joining a team?
