Women In Sport: Why You And Your Daughter Should Get Involved

Cecily Radford — Thu, 04 Jan 2024 22:00:34 +0000

Because all work and no play makes Jill a dull gal!

We’re all well aware of the physical, psychological and social health benefits of participation in sports for children and young people. Interestingly, these benefits tend to be particularly great for girls. One major benefit of girls playing sports as they grow up is the impact this will have on the women they will become.

Confidence, teamwork and a more positive self-image are all qualities that will grow and develop as she takes part in physical activity. Sport teaches our daughters to set goals and work for them, understand their limits and defy them. It also teaches them to be disciplined, celebrate achievements and learn from failures. It teaches them that not everything will be a victory and you will have to pick yourself up and go again. Not only in sports, but also in life. In order to see these benefits put into practice, young girls need female sporting role models and they need them close to home. And that, mamas, is where you need to step in.

Why women and girls give up on sports

Throughout a woman’s life, the odds are stacked against her for staying interested and active in sports, perhaps because of a combination of a lack of opportunity and sporting female role models. As teenagers, adolescent girls become highly critical of themselves. It is at this stage that girls begin to place limitations on themselves. Without realising that sports, in fact, help us transcend these self-imposed limitations, girls may stop playing if they assume they won’t go on to become professional athletes. As they continue to grow up, balancing a career and a family means dropout rates in women’s sports remain high. Even if a woman were to choose to take up a sport later on, it can be intimidating (and difficult to find suitable opportunities) after being out of it for a while.

The influence of mums and female role models

Mothers have a huge influence on their daughter’s relationships with physical fitness or sports. Whether it’s participating together, or simply allowing your daughter to see that you yourself are active, this visibility is crucial.

Participating in a sport in front of your daughter allows her to see you as more than just “mum”. She will observe you dealing with pressure, supporting and working with other women, sweating, struggling, learning and showing respect, leadership and discipline. You will come across as capable, confident, willing to try new things and resilient. If you apply this to your daily life, your daughter will subconsciously imbibe the same lessons. We should allow our daughters to see their mum participating in sport because she wants to. Not because she’s trying to lose weight, or because she’s a professional, but because she is self-assured and confident and sees the benefits of it for her mental and physical health and well-being.

Sports & outdoor activities for mums & daughters

Other than just enrolling your daughter in a sports class, you could look at participating together in specific mother and daughter sports events. If not, take up a sport and make sure to invite your children (a good lesson for boys and girls to cheer on their mum!) to watch and learn. For those who find sport intimidating, taking part in an all-female environment might help you feel more relaxed and supported. Take a look at the initiatives below and get in touch with those that interest you. It’s also worth reaching out to other sports clubs that interest you to see if they run any beginner or casual sessions.

WISE HK – Women In Sports Empowered Hong Kong

WISE HK champions sports for women and girls in Hong Kong through a variety of initiatives. WISE believes in the power of sports to teach crucial life, personal and professional skills and change women’s lives. They run Mother and Daughter Sports Days roughly every six weeks at various locations. Girls from 5 to 15 are invited to attend with their mothers. Over the last two years, the events have provided a variety of different sports led by coaches in that field. Past sports have included football, touch rugby, volleyball and more. WISE has even started inviting teenage girls to provide the “coaching” aspect of the day in order to accelerate girls’ leadership skills and enable them to thrive and advance their impact in their community. Keep an eye on its Facebook and Instagram pages for its Mother and Daughter events.

Move it for Mental Health: Join the Challenge!

Why not participate in a challenge with your daughter? For something a bit different, check out Mind HK. Every year, Mind HK encourages people to exercise every day for 30 minutes for their mental well-being. While the many physical benefits of exercise are known, this campaign asks you to exercise for both your physical and mental wellbeing and raise awareness of it. Mothers and daughters can participate in this together, doing anything from a 30-minute walk or hike, a HIIT or dance class at home or some hula hooping! Share your progress online using #moveithk. Continue this practice every month after for continued benefits.

Hong Kong United*

Hong Kong United is a football initiative that invites women of all ages and abilities to a weekly training session. Set up via Standard Perpetual MLFA, Hong Kong United understands that as a beginner or someone who has been out for a while, getting into football can be daunting. That’s why it’s started these sessions, which are run by two female coaches working in Hong Kong. Participants’ ages range from late teens or early 20s to those well into their 40s and 50s. The sessions are fun and inclusive and, as the name suggests, they’re aimed at bringing Hong Kong women together through the beautiful game.

Where To Buy Athleisure In Hong Kong: Yoga Pants, Active Wear, Sportswear And More

Sassy Mama — Thu, 17 Aug 2023 22:00:17 +0000

Some of us work out in athleisure while some of us lounge in them, nonetheless, we love restocking on yoga pants, tank tops and more! Here’s where to shop athleisure in Hong Kong.

The benefits of working out for body and mind have been proven time and time again, though starting can sometimes be tricky. We get it: an early morning yoga class, an after-work gym session or getting into gear with a personal trainer can sometimes feel like the last thing on our to-do list. Especially if you’re a busy parent running the kids all over the place. So if you need a little extra incentive to hit the gym, perhaps it’s time to invest in some fresh new activewear. Plus, it helps that we’d happily wear this comfortable, chic gear in and out of our classes. That’s where the word “athleisure” comes from after all, right?

Kurios – Yoga wear, yoga accessories and wellness products

A one-stop-shop for all your wellness needs, Mamas can pick out everything from yoga wear, accessories like yoga mats, natural deodorants, skincare and chic tote bags at Kurios. Its driving goal is to ignite kuriosty for the body and mind with a selection of great brands and products sourced from around the world. Some of our top picks include staple pieces from Alo Yoga and fashionable yet functional activewear from PE Nation – taking you from studio to street real quick! Shop Kurios across PURE Fitness locations in Hong Kong, or shop online and get free shipping for orders over $400.

Selling everything from tees to sports bras, knitwear, accessories and more, Sweaty Betty has us feeling and looking our best with its fashion-forward prints.

But as busy parents, we know it can sometimes feel like a chore to set out for a class. But all that’s about to change with PURE’s online class offerings.

Fitness Centres With Classes For Teens: From Muay Thai To Crossfit

Sassy Mama — Mon, 19 Dec 2022 22:00:01 +0000

Joining fitness centres is a great way for teens to improve their physical and mental health, but you do need to make sure they’re in safe hands. From boxing classes at Ursus Fitness and Swish to aerial yoga at Flex, we’ve rounded up the best fitness classes and gyms in Hong Kong for teens!

Looking for ways to fight your teens’ boredom? One way to help them is to get them moving again. Whether or not they are into sports, fitness centres are a great addition to your teen’s schedule. Increase endorphin production (the chemical that makes you happier), provide a much-desired immunity boost, and most importantly, give them something productive to do! That said, not all Hong Kong gyms are open to teens, especially the younger ones, so we’ve rounded up a variety of options that range from Muay Thai to CrossFit and cater to all teens.
