She watched her body change before her eyes becoming a woman like it or not. We're still dealing with i the fallout 13 yrs later. Athletics can be dangerous for the soul.

One week it was "pure cute," watching little guys try to play ball and handing out popsicles at the end. Seemingly the next week, the kids and coaches were on an entirely new, competitive plane.
