“I think the key to being an effective change-maker is the motivation to do everything you possibly can to set girls up to be successful in all aspects of their life,” notes Girls In Sports Alberta owner and founder Dia Syed. “The next generation will always be the key to the future success of our nation. It’s our responsibility to set them up with the proper skills to navigate this changing world.
“My vision is to help grow girls’ confidence to be change makers and barrier breakers of the future through physical activity and sport. I believe this will help them become well-rounded so they can participate in any type of physical activity and bring lifelong success in whatever future career they decide to pursue. I want to be able to give girls the knowledge and confidence that they need to carry on into adulthood in order to engage in a healthy and active lifestyle.”
