ThinkWoman™
from
Scholar-Baller™
ThinkWoman™
is about intelligence, athleticism and true beauty and respect
of women: mind, body and soul. ThinkWoman is about supporting
Title IX policies, diverse body representations and creating a
positive label about women's health and physical activity.
Scholar Baller is inclusive by enabling men's and women's sport
to equally participate in this cultural movement as well as the
curriculum and incentive program. ThinkWoman is the exemplar for
the academic reform movement in terms of balancing textbooks and
playbooks.
Based on the research literature:
-
Women are more likely to
graduate from college than men are (as both student-athletes
and the general population)
-
Women are more likely to focus
on life after athletics
-
Women have higher APR (Academic
Progress Rate) and GSR (Graduation Success Rate) scores than
men
