Look at you ...springing, kicking, dribbling, and pitching it down the pike. Girl, you are amazing! It's hard to believe that there was a time when girls were not encouraged to play sports. It's true. Athletic programs funded by the US government were once for boys only. That was the rule. Girls were told: No chasing! No stretching! No kicking! No pushing! No splashing!  And never, ever sweat.  Excerpted from Girls with Guts!: The Road to Breaking Barriers and Bashing Records by Debbie Gonzales, Rebecca Gibbon All rights reserved by the original copyright owners.
