We are deeply indebted to Deborah Slaner Larkin, who originally championed the idea that each sport might make unique contributions to the health and well-being of American youth and that understanding these benefits would ultimately lead to more opportunities for youth to play sports. She was a powerful advocate and supporter for this line of research when she served as the Executive Director of the USTA Serves (now Foundation) and oversaw the development and conduct of the research that resulted in More Than A Sport: Tennis, Education, and Health, a first-of-its-kind, nationwide study that compared the educational and health profiles of adolescent tennis participants with participants in other non-contact sports and contact sports, as well as high school students who did not participate in sports. Later, as WSF CEO, she made this line of research an organizational priority, helped conceptualize the project, and made many important contributions to the final report. And now, we also express our appreciation to her for providing invaluable input from the study design phase to the analysis and the writing.  \nThe Women’s Sports Foundation is indebted to the study author, Philip Veliz, Ph. D. , whose scholarly expertise in the how adolescent behavior is influenced by sports participation brought this project to life. The policy recommendations were written by Deborah Slaner Larkin and Marjorie Snyder, Ph. D. , with valuable input from the USTA Foundation, New York Junior Tennis and Learning, and Tennis Magazine.  \nA special note of acknowledgement and appreciation is extended, as well, to Deana Monahan for her editorial and graphic skills.  \nThis report was made possible through a partnership between the Women’s Sports Foundation® and the Margaret Fund.  \nAbout the Women’s Sports Foundation  \nThe Women’s Sports Foundation — the leading authority on the participation of women and girls in sports —is dedicated to creating leaders by ensuring girls access to sports.
