I don't think being an athlete is unfeminine. I think of it as a kind of grace.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Femininity and sport can go together.
But I like to think an athlete is an athlete.
There's nothing masculine about being competitive. There's nothing masculine about trying to be the best at everything you do, nor is there anything wrong with it. I don't know why a female athlete has to defend her femininity just because she chooses to play sports.
I think, without question, the way someone plays sports shows something about inherently who they are, you know?
As women professional athletes, you have to have respect for every player and individual. Beyond that, it doesn't matter what your interests are. People can have their own lives.
A female professional athlete has to have the whole package, as opposed to a guy who can just be good at sport. You have to have a job or go to uni or do three sports instead of one, you have to be a standout.
I believe that athletes - especially female athletes in the world's leading sport for women - should serve as role models.
Any athlete has massive reserves in their body and their emotional landscape.
As an athlete, you have to become quite selfish with your time and your body and your training.
Amazingly, I think that a lot of times athletes are - are kind of in a position where other think they shouldn't weigh in on certain social topics.
