Discussing Girls & Women In Sports Day With Heather Brink

Wednesday marks the 34th annual National Girls & Women In Sports Day, a celebration that inspires girls and women to play and be active, to realize their full power, according to the Women's Sports Foundation. The confidence, strength and character gained through sports participation are the very tools girls and women need to become strong leaders in sports and life. To recognize this annual day, Brian Rosenthal of Huskers.com visited with Nebraska' women's gymnastics coach Heather Brink, a Lincoln native and former Nebraska student athlete, about the importance of girls and women in sports, and how their participation and leaderships has evolved over the years, and continues to progress.
