    From 1987 to 2004 it was given to an incredible female athlete that showed spirit, charisma, and dignity. It was held at the Women's Sports Foundation during the month of February in Washington D.C., coincidentally also with the National Girls and Women Sports Day. I once said "I had to learn to be honest with myself. I had to recognize my pain threshold. When I hit the floor I have to realize it's not as if I broke a bone. Pushing yourself over the barrier is a habit. I know I can do it and try something else crazy. If you want to win the war, you have to pay the price." I had won my own war and I had paid my own…

    College scholarships, the attraction of every devoted sports player out there. Earning scholarships brings players together not only to step up their game, but to be enthusiastic about exceeding their academic goals. Colleges put down an amount of money to attract top athletes from high schools all over their state. Athletic meaning all sports, like golf, fencing, and water polo. Tons of schools and families support the aid colleges grant in their athletic scholarship programs, while others are against it, saying that it has too few people who are accepted and that it takes away money that everyone else has to pay for their classes. They don’t realize that players will be encouraged to do great academically, so that they may do great athletically. (Gallagher Flinn, 2012.

Kaylah huffs as I go up because she thinks she will not be able to get home and score a run because i’ll strike out. She doesn’t know what I can do now. I step up to the plate, looking at my team then at Kaylah, she looking at me with disgust.“ I cant believe her, how dare she has no faith in me! In anyone! UGH” I…
