i-tri uses the sport of triathlon and the power of teambuilding, mentorship and relationship building to help middle school age girls develop lifelong habits and behaviors that promote healthy mental and physical health.
One of the most powerful aspects of i-tri is that we are not just a sports or an exercise program. i-tri has been recognized by our area’s educators, administrators, and social service agencies as a prevention system that achieves marked changes in mental health and academic success.
There is often talk about the fact that lack of confidence and self-esteem results in a higher likelihood of taking part in dangerous life choices including alcohol and drug use and sexual promiscuity. However, studies are now beginning to show the very tight link between confidence and girls’ performance in the academic areas of science and math.
