kathie wanted you to read about her daughters because she believes that they were all given opportunities to learn about teamwork, leadership, and community while participating in competitive youth sports. these opportunities were provided in a safe environment and allowed them to also learn to win and lose gracefully as well as learn how to advocate for themselves. kathie is involved with the united sports foundation because she wants all youth athletes to have the same opportunities!
