Tucker Center associate director and School of Kinesiology faculty member Dr. Nicole M. LaVoi is one of a national panel of experts at the espnW: Women + Sports Summit co-hosted Aspen Institute Sports & Society Program on “What Do Mothers Want from Youth Sports?” held on October 10 in Dana Point, CA. The goal of the panel conversation is to “define and elevate the voices of mothers and girls in the conversation around quality youth sports.” LaVoi’s 2009 Women in Sport and Physical Activity Journal article, “Occupational Sex Segregation in a Youth Soccer Organization: Females in Positions of Power” is being used as background material for the panelists.
