The Importance of Fathers Engaging Girls in Sport
Description
Professor Morgan is the Deputy Director of the University of Newcastle Priority Research Centre for Physical Activity and Nutrition.
Dads and Daughters Exercising and Empowered (DADEE) program was the first ever program to target the father-daughter relationship as a form of an engagement mechanism to improve social-emotional well-being and physical activity in girls, resulting in it winning a National Award.
The NSW Minister for Sport recently approved $2.4 million of funding to disseminate the program across NSW.
The DADEE program is being delivered in the UK in collaboration with Women in Sport UK and English Premier League clubs.
Current statistics report that one in every two Australian girls leaves sport by the age of 15.
