Co-founded by soccer star Brandi Chastain, BAWSI (Bay Area Women's Sports Initiative) is an after-school fitness and motivation program. "Being BAWSI" shows the girls and their mothers having fun working out alongside Chastain and college women athletes who volunteer to coach, mentor, and be role models for a healthy lifestyle. This film captures the power and joy of being BAWSI, the results of transformation, and the dedication of women to communities. Written by Marisa Maldonado See less
