Homecoming Queen kicks game-winning field goal

Please make sure a young lady in your life sees this post. When I coached weightlifting, it was hard to get girls to participate. I think this is true in many sports where girls who play aren't really looked as girls. Far too many talented girls sit on the sidelines because they don't want to be viewed as less 'girlie.' Enter Briana Amat. She's a senior at Pinckney High School (Pinckney, Mich.). Amat plays for the girls varsity soccer team and the football team. Yes, I said football. Now, I'm not going to give away the story. The video from WJBX-TV featured below tells it in full detail (email subscribers click here). Use Amat's story to encourage girls you know. There's nothing wrong at all with being pretty and powerful. Until next time...

Be a Good Sport!
