I could feel the judgmental eyes watching me. They were likely thinking‚ “she’s too small‚ too fragile‚ she’s a girl!” As I listened to my coach’s talk I became more confident that I could do this. My name was called. I put on my headgear and put in my mouthpiece. This was it this was my moment. It was bright‚ the boy was skinnier than
