"I'm really just hoping to inspire younger generations to let them to know it's OK to be strong, it's OK to be bigger, I can front squat a lot of weight. A lot of people just don't expect women to shine or be bold. I want them to know that it's OK to throw far. It's OK to be strong." -Deanna Price I'm so excited that it's finally summer and I can't wait to have fun on here for this relaxing yet action-packed time of the year!!
This summer we will see the usuals: Stanley Cup Champions, MLB All-Star Game, NFL Training Camps, etc. BUT we will have a special guest in the form of the Rio Olympics!!!!!!! Everything about this event is fantastic and I am thrilled to share about this event with all of you! -J “We must educate the public in how sports can be important for these girls — how it can change their lives. One of the major problems in areas like [Jordan] is that girls are forced to get married at an early age and they never get to realize their athletic potential and what sports can do for them.” -Batoul ARNaout "I don't care if anybody ever knows my name or if anybody ever knows my stats. I just want us to get to play and for women's football to be appreciated and get the recognition it deserves." -Brooke Goodman "My strategy for making friends as a kid was to do the coolest tricks on the playground. That's how I learned to interact with people. It hadn't occurred to me to start a conversation. I had no idea how to do that." -Jessie Graff "I think that all little girls should participate in an activity, whether it be a sport or a community group or organization, that empowers them to empower other young girls; and anything that brings parents and children together -- especially mothers and daughters together -- I think is the ultimate responsibility of ours because it's going to forge a long-lasting relationship for a lifetime." -Patricia Rodriguez "I have always skated with the guys, so I've never felt intimidated by them. I also think that because of my skating ability, the guys respect me enough to know that I just came to skate, just like them." -Samarria Brevard "I learned that if coaches are yelling, it's usually because they care about you, and they're trying to make you better. I'm actually kind of thankful in a way. As I've gotten older, I've gotten yelled at, and I don't take it personally anymore." -Jordan Cruz |
AuthorHi, I'm Jenna and I'm a sports fan! I've been avidly watching sports since 2011 because I found that by watching sports, I would be able to communicate with my dad and brother better. Ever since I got into sports, I've been able to enjoy myself more when I go to sporting events with my family. Archives
