Girls shouldn’t fight

Girl Boxing

That is me over there on the right. Pretty tough, Huh? Yeah well, once you get to know me you’ll find out I am a total softie, but finding the sport of kickboxing and “kicking” the ‘only guys should fight’ belief to the curb saved my life and gave me a chance to be brilliant [...]

I told you I’ll do it………

Football - Pink Text

I’m an 18 year old girl growing up in southern Minnesota. So far I’ve been told that because I’m a girl I can’t fix my car, skin a deer, ride a bull, throw a decent punch or anything else. Actually, boys have told me I can’t play football with them because I’m a girl. I’m trying [...]
