Selfesteem Builds Female Athletes

by Dorothy

Beads of sweat roll down her forehead as she rubs a very
prominent muscle in her calve. Her breathing is deep and
hard but steady as she regains her focus to another place in
order to numb the pain. She reaches into a place in her mind
where she has stored an energy that only a dedicated athlete
has come to know. An energy that will take her that extra
distance to her finish mark.

This is a female athlete, a women that is not only strong,
willful, and dedicated but has invested most of her youth
and/or adulthood to get to this height of excellence. This
women is a competitive professional athlete. In the world of
mens sports, these women have had to climb mountains and
jump very high hurtles to get even a small fraction of
respect as competitive, serious athletes.

These women are exemplary in there show of positive
self-esteem. A positive self-esteem has given them strength
to never give up on their dream. Their dream of becoming a
true world champion female in the sports world. Through
their years of excruciating training they have learned a
few very important positive characteristics such as:

-setting goals

achieving a dream that for many become unreachable
learning to perform under pressure
understanding the meaning of a team player
learning how to earn and achieve through hard work
how to accept failure and appreciate succession.

Other very positive things come out of women making sports a
big part of their lives.

females in high school do not have time to get pregnant
as little as four hours per week of physical exercise helps
to reduce a teenagers risk of breast cancer by up to 60%.
Breast cancer effects 1out of every 8 American females.
it has also helped to reduce the amount of females suffering
from osteoporosis(brittle bones).
females engaging in sports are less likely to experience
depression.
Female athletes are also very much more positive in regards
to their body image, again a show of positive self-esteem.
They are trained early in life to respect their health and
nurture their psychological well-being. These character
traits are a must in achieving the limits that are needed to
compete as a professional athlete. These women have to be on
the top of their game, so to speak.

With that in their focus they glow with positive self-esteem
and confidence. They also need all of these positive
attributes to get them where they want to be in regards to
their workplace. About 80% of women that are in high
executive positions were athletes during certain periods of
their lives. This is a good thing. Through their training
and disciplined lifestyles, they have succeeded not only in
sports, but also in their careers. These female athletes
also made a mark in history and continue to do so, against
all odds.

Unfortunately as in any thing we deal with in life, there is
the reality of abuse and stereotyping. Many woman fear the
label of being called a lesbian, or fear that they would
come into contact with lesbians in the sports world. Sexual
harassment, verbal abuse, emotional abuse and even physical
abuse are also very common negative realities in the sports
world. We need to shout out as loud as we can to get rulings
to protect all athletes in the sports world.

To make life even more unfair, after they have trained and
suffered much pain to win many championships and meet the
challenges that come with being an athlete, they continue to
battle nonsensical enemies such as the media. Oh yes, our
great media strikes yet again. They have taken pictures of
female athletes and turned them into sexual objects.
Sporting them in magazines, scantily clothed as if they were
posing for a pornographic magazine. They have robbed them of
their achievements as serious female athletes. They have
offered them up as sacrificial pieces of meat to satisfy the
male appetite. They rarely if ever show the reality of the
female athlete. Rarely if ever do you find a picture of a
disabled athlete sporting the front of a magazine, but there
you have it, even in the sports magazines they have to use
sex to sell. They cannot even depend on their own merit
anymore. In fact the media continually shows just how cheap
they can be. They show no respect for the reality of people
anymore. The media has totally blinded the world as to what
a competitive female athlete is all about.

The female athlete is all about:

strength
skill
power
ability to achieve a goal
pure self-discipline
desire to achieve excellence
determination to win
the drive to push against against all odds
Women of the sports world, I commend you for your courage
and ability to reach your destination. You show all the
women of the world today that we can do it. You show us how
very important it is to have a positive self-esteem. You
show us professional female athletes at their best. For
that, I thank you!

"Desire is the most important factor in the success of any
athlete"
