I was looking around for things to write this blog about, I came to the website womenssportsnet.com – the only source for women’s sport. The title says it all, because it is one of the few website that is designed to discuss women in sport and it turns out to be a great website. It discusses every sport and there are many articles to read. And it made me think of my awareness paper and how there is not one magazine that emphasizes female athletes. But this website just shows that the athletes are out there, the articles are written and yet there still is not a place to publish them. One article I read for the website was titled “The Balancing Act for Young Team USA Hopefuls”, it was amazing. It was an article showing how Rachael Flatt, training for the figure-skating Olympics, still is able to balance AP classes in school and receive excellent grades. This is what young girls should be reading, not looking at magazines that sexual them. Young athletes should have these sources readily available to them because it gives them something to aspire to and great role models to look up to.
