NYTimes: As Girls Become Women, Sports Pay Dividends

Two new studies found that girls' involvement in team sports can mean
lifelong improvements in educational, work and health prospects.

The study showed that increasing girls' sports participation had a
direct effect on women's education and employment. It found that the
changes set in motion by Title IX explained about 20 percent of the
increase in women's education and about 40 percent of the rise in
employment for 25-to-34-year-old women.
