Ponytail On The Pitch

Here I am a girl. It is a surprise to the unfirmular male faces that stare at me googlyeyed. Everyone told me they will judge you, they will doubt you, and they will not accept you. This is the moment all those nightmares came true. These 14 and 15 year old boys all confused why girl is standing on their field with a ball in her hand.

It's funny now looking back thinking I was worried about fitting in, when in the end I fit in all to well. I mean there's bound to be love, lust, and drama when one girl and a team full of teenage boys visited a tropical Island. People still think I was that strong independent women who played with the boys, and I was, but here's an inside scope on what the newspapers and media never heard. The drama behind the team. This is a true story of my week on the Canadian U15 Bermuda touring team.

The boys judge me that night at the first practice but I judged them too. As the famous saying goes don't judge a book by it's cover or in my case? It's pony tail.
