I have been playing sports with the guys every since I was little, and I always beat them. People used to always tell me to just let the guy win because they don't like it when a girl beats them. Well, I always play my hardest because I want to prove that I am just as good as them if not better. I have played many sports with guys, and all the guys really seemed to enjoy playing with me, even if I were to beat them. I don't think they really care, just as long as you play your hardest and prove to them you can do it. Don't just let them win or just stand there, because anyone can play sports. It is an awesome feeling to know that you played with they guys and you're one of the top best players; better than most of the males. A lot of sports really don't have as much to do with strength as they do with skill, and anyone can have skill. So, all that talk about girls not being strong enough to play with the guys is not right. Of course guys can get a little rowdy at times and play extremely tough, but girls can do the same back. It is unlikely that you will get hurt unless you just stand there and let them tromple all over you. If you play your hardest too, and do get hurt, it's alright. It's not like guys don't get hurt. But, competition feels good, especially when you know you played your hardest and proved yourself to others.
