Well as a father, I taught my girls they can be anything they want to be, do anything they set their mind to do. One played rugby at a US Ivy league college, all are triathlon iron man competitors, all very successful in their chosen careers. It is a mistake to tell a young woman that she cannot do something in sports or otherwise. How is that going to reflect on a young girl. And as far as full contact sports, all three are black belts.
