Have you ever been told you can't
because you're a girl?

Tell us your story...

My whole life I’ve been very athletic and competitive. I love the competition and the adrenaline rush you get during sports. I am now a full time soccer player and hace always been told by everyone that woman shouldn’t be playing soccer… I’m mexican and in my culture it’s still seen as a man sport.  All I can say is that I’ve proved them wrong. I have been involved in national events and traveled over seas many times to play the game. I have reached a very high level and are now looking into full rides to university. Don’t let people tell you what you can and cannot do. Live your life for you and God.
