Being BAWSI

Being BAWSI is the story of the great things that can happen when women athletes work together to make a difference in their communities. BAWSI, Bay Area Women's Sports Initiative, co-founded by soccer star Brandi Chastain, provides young girls and their Mothers in under-served neighborhoods with an after school fitness and motivation program. Chastain and women athletes from high schools and colleges, volunteer their time to coach, mentor, and serve as role models for a healthy lifestyle.

After watching BAWSI in action at Washington Elementary in San Jose, CA, I was inspired to follow BAWSI participants for 8 weeks and witnessed their amazing change both physically and mentally. The women athletes were also touched with a new sense of community and the joy of giving back.

It is my hope that all who view this movie are inspired by BAWSI like I was and take the initiative to support and encourage girls and women to become empowered, self confident, and leaders in their community.
