“We really want to create awareness and strength for women in sports because we all know that 72% of youth sports are men. There are not many women doing this,” driver in an interview with Pakinomist Digital. “What we want to do is say how do we give attention, but then give the tools the tools they need to succeed in coaching young women in sports.”
Driver explained that his children are different in the way they need to be coached and properly motivated.
He said he can shout at his son about the things he does that can move on from it, but his daughter is different.

“I have to go into more of the heart-to-heart conversation with those who ‘hello, let’s work together to solve the problem. I understand that this must be a frustrating situation.’ I really have to talk to them differently … than I talk to my son.
“With this program we will really just continue to aim to strengthen women to play sports and never stop.”
Driver was named the biggest motivational officer last week.
He helped Packers to a Super Bowl title in 2010. He had 743 catches in 10,137 yards and 61 touchdowns during his career.
