As the foundation's director, Julie Foudy brings high-profile visibility to the academy that bears her name. From what we saw at the NSCAA Convention is that Julie is more than just lending her name; she spoke and a couple hours each day at the foundation's trade show booth.

From their Website:
Our focus at the Julie Foudy Sports Leadership Academy will be to teach our students the ingredients it takes to be a leader on the field AND a leader in life. The Academy is designed for girls, ages 12-18. Our students will get the best of both worlds: they will learn soccer from some of the best women players in the world AND will be exposed to a multitude of leadership concepts they can cultivate for life.

NSCD offers a variety of programs that run throughout the year that provide people affected by disabilities a chance to learn about sports -- and a chance to learn more about themselves.

From their Website: The National Sports Center for the Disabled (NSCD) began in 1970 as a one-time ski lesson for children with amputations for the Children's Hospital of Denver. Today, the NSCD is one of the largest outdoor therapeutic recreation agencies in the world. Each year, thousands of children and adults with disabilities take to the ski slopes, mountain trails and golf courses to learn more about sports - and themselves. With specially trained staff and its own adaptive equipment lab, the NSCD teaches a variety of winter and summer sports and activities to individuals with almost any physical, cognitive, emotional, or behavioral diagnosis.
