I would like to ask if you have any advice for me on talking to my daughter about playing football. I don't know if she will even want to play sports, but I would like to set the stage where she is not set in the trap where girls are relegated to field hockey, softball and the like. If you have time I'm all ears. She is also only six so I guess I'm looking for kind of general setting her up to look at all sports for herself as an athlete and not just football is something that her...
oh one other thing. I had some dogs when I was growing up. I learned how to fake and dodge by playing with them. That's another important thing shes gonna have to learn. The sooner she starts the better she'll be.
Thanks sami! Sounds like she is not going to like to play, while she is tomboy like in some ways, she likes tools and working on things, she can't stand falling over on a bouncy ball, so I think she won't stand for getting knocked down by someone else.
like you said, shes only 6 so give her time. You can still play football with her. Maybe she'll like it better in a few yrs.
p.s. I like working on cars with my Grampa.
