For Meliciously Yours’ inaugural Random Acts of Sisterhood blog feature, who better to highlight than the U.S. Women’s Soccer Team. Their recent success, making it all the way to the 2011 FIFA Women’s World Cup Final in Germany last weekend was remarkable and though they lost in a well played game to Japan, the team has probably done more to inspire young girls everywhere to play sports!
Women’s sports don’t generally get the same recognition or respect as their male counterpart’s games, so television and radio networks don’t televise them as often and therefore girls aren’t exposed to professional women athletes as much.
In a world where girls aren’t always encouraged to play sports, it’s nice to see positive role models for a nation of young girls and women who prove that winning isn’t always everything, it’s the “doing” that counts the most.
So my hats off to the U.S. Women’s Soccer Team for their Random Act of Sisterhood, and may they continue to inspire young girls everywhere to get off the couch, step away from the computer, put down the tiaras, and at least try a sport. Who knows, maybe Meliciously Yours' next designer t-shirt will be a soccer player!
Today I realized that Soccer is a game that I equate with friends, family and friends - something that makes me smile even when faced hard situations.
