On several occasions I represented my country in soccer and it was a clear example of inequality that exists economically, socially, stereotypes, sexism, and others. Knowing many points of view of sportswomen and girls who have abandoned physical activity and sports for different reasons. Carrying out an investigation, which entails a study on the abandonment of physical activity and sports in women at an early age, focusing on the population of Guatemala. Being the main objective to identify the motives for women to abandon physical activity and sport. Obtaining top five variables such as; time, studies, family and society, injuries, and motivation. Adding secondary variables as opportunities, faculties and teams, making girls lose interest in physical activity and sports. Usually girls are dropping out of physical activity and sports between 16 and 25 years old, when they are finishing school studies and/or starting college.Getting significant results on the 21st century that there’s still sexism, discrimination, arrogance, prioritizing boys and selfishness in Guatemala toward women. Meaning that the girls have to go through a lot of bad situations to be a woman in sports, but that didn ?t stop them from fighting for their rights as women and playing the game they love.Gathering information for solutions as Guatemalan citizens to promote and motivate women insports, as having a country with more equality and respect towards the girls in every situation,informing and promoting the stories of women in sports and the importance of physical activity to every kid. Teaching their families and society to support their daughters. Creating programs and academies for girls in every sport, broadcasting games, and more social media to give visibility to women.Concluding, that there are still so many dropouts at young age in women in Guatemala and for sure in other countries in Latin America, where we must do something before it ?s too late. Because every young girl must have an opportunity to be active physically and enjoy every sport as a Guatemalan women athlete. Giving more visibility and showing everyone that women are great and can do so much more with sports. date: 2021 type: Tesis type: NonPeerReviewed identifier: Tesis Materias > Educación física y el deporte Universidad Europea del Atlántico > Docencia > Trabajos finales de grado Cerrado Inglés As a sportswomen who has lived and raised in Guatemala for more than 15 years, knows the struggles that women have every day, from sexism to sports exclusion.
