Do you like football? I do (my uncle, Steve Fairchild, is a former NFL coach and is currently the head coach of the Colorado State Rams), and I'm sort of fascinated by the news about the female head coach who is causing quite a stir in the world of sports ...
Natalie Randolph was recently appointed head football coach at Washington D.C.'s Coolidge High School--making her the first ever female head football coach for a high school football team. The news created quite a buzz. Online commenters have been bashing the school's decision all week (which is no surprise, right?). But recently, on Good Morning America, she said that parents and administrators at the school are being really supportive, however.
Can I just say that this is really, really cool? If you read about her background (she's a former player herself), you'll see how passionate and knowledgeable she is about the game. Her gender is insignificant. She's the person for the job.
Go Natalie!
Thoughts on gender discrimination in sports?
P.S. What's your favorite time of the day to workout? And, do this, get toned legs (it's working for me!).
