A study recently came out that said girls in New Zealand are dropping out of sport at twice the rate of boys by the age of 14. 

The research revealed that 95 percent of girls aged 11-17 aren't active enough and by the age of 17, they spend 28 percent less time being active then boys.

D'Arcy spoke to clinical psychologist Dom Vettise to break the study down, and discuss the reasons why this may be happening.
