Why Do These Girls Need PTRP?
Many female athletes find it difficult to navigate the societal norms of balancing their soft feminine nature with the hard, masculine ultra-competitiveness necessary for success in sports. All of our girls share common traits that allow them to bond as “girls,” but they also need to be able to turn on their tough, competitive nature on the court, to earn the same respect as their male athlete peers.
PTRP aims to provide practical solutions to that challenge...
We assist young women by creating a culture that supports female student-athletes to become the best versions of themselves through a girls' development program that embodies, empowers, and uplifts the next generation of female athletes through basketball.
Society proves time and time again that there’s a direct correlation between athletics and success in the real world. Over 90 percent of C-Suite female executives played sports, and of that group, 54% competed at the collegiate level.
