Can Nike<\/a> make an impact on boosting women\u2019s confidence?<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Beaverton, Ore.-based company is aiming to do just that through a landmark partnership with Dove that puts teenage female athletes in focus. As part of the deal, both companies co-developed a coaching program centered around building body confidence in girls in the age range of 11-17.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe’ve been having this conversation for a while about how girls are falling out of sport at twice the rate of boys, and that that’s not okay with us at Nike,\u201d said Vanessa Garcia-Brito, Nike VP and Chief Social and Community Impact Officer. \u201cSport is amazing and it can have a transformative impact in our lives, but if you’re not participating then you’re not getting the benefits.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first-of-its-kind coaching program called Body Confident Sport<\/a>, which is open source for the public to use, took over two years to develop and is based on research from the Centre of Appearance Research and Tucker Center for Girls and Women in Sport. Data in the program included studies of nearly 5,000 teenagers from the U.S., France, India, Japan, and Mexico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
