Women’s Participation in Sports has Positive Impact on Career Success @CourtneyConnley

By Courtney Connley ​via Black Enterprise

Research from a recent Gallup-Purdue study found that women who are former student athletes are 48% more likely to be engaged at work, compared to their male counterparts who are 38% likely to be engaged.

One firm who understands the positive impact sports have on career success is professional services firm EY, formerly known as Ernst & Young. Among their 400 female executives from five different countries, EY found that 52% played sports at the collegiate level, compared to 39% of women at other management levels.
