This is about real conversations that impact how they show up—in sport and in life. There will be guest speakers and a panel of original Lady Spartans who have lived it\, walked through it\, and are ready to pour back into the next generation. \nAthletes + Parents are both encouraged to attend. \nRegistration Details: The registration fee covers the attending female athlete. Parents are encouraged to attend alongside their daughter at no additional cost. \nRegistration for the clinic is $25 per athlete\, and the fee covers the participating student. Parents are strongly encouraged to attend the session alongside their daughters at no additional cost to share in the experience.
