Erin went out to play football and there were people against it but she did not mind what their opinions were because she was going to keep on doing what she loves and not let a man tell her what she can or can’t not do.

Often girls are then robbed of the benefits of playing sports, which is one of the strongest confidence-building activities at a time when they need it the most (Our). When you are in that position, that is the time to put your foot down and be independent. Girls are stronger than boys mentally and physically, that is why boys tend to bring down girls. Boys want to feel powerful once they’ve weaken you, so take a stand for yourself, do want you want to do, and be who you want to
