My almost 14 year old granddaughter is a competitive soccer player (State Champions this year!). I am constantly amazed at the fortitude of these young girls. They practice year round, through cold and hot days, sunny or rainy. The only time a game or practice is called is when it is lightening, or the field simply too soggy to be safe. The games can be pretty intense at this level also. I wasn't nearly as tough as she is at her age!
Fortunately, this discipline seems to carry over to the rest of her life, tackling school work with ease, handling relationships, etc. I'm not worried at all about this new generation that has a lot of kids like her.
