Girls should take part in competitive sport to build confidence and resilience, Helen Fraser, the leader of a group of girls" schools will argue this week.
Sport can help girls cope with failure.
"Girls who are in schools which focus solely on academic achievement can experience success after success, and may never learn that you can have a real setback and come back and recover", Ms. Fraser told BBC News. "The experience of losing a hockey game three-nil and carrying on to another match builds resilience".
Not all girls like ball games so it"s important to find alternatives, says the GDST Valerie Dunsford, head of Sheffield High School, part of GDST, said it was important to offer a large range of sports to attract different types of girls.
Ms. Fraser says other research suggests that more than 80% of senior women business leaders played organized sports while growing up. She says similar high proportions of female executives believe sport made them more disciplined, resilient and competitive in their careers.
"I think sport and exercise are ways in which women can reclaim their bodies from the kind of obsessions of the tabloid press and celebrity magazines", says Ms. Fraser.
