In her first game, playing offense and defense she was
9 years old 4'3" playing tackle football with boys...8 carries, 5 touchdowns.
This girl is amazing. Lots more on You Tube.

She is amazing indeed. At the age of 9, boy or girl makes no difference since the changes on come at puberty.
Watching the kids hitting each other, I conclude that football is too dangerous, especially for kids. The chance of CTE is much too high, especially for young brains.

Watching the kids hitting each other, I conclude that football is too dangerous, especially for kids. The chance of CTE is much too high, especially for young brains. While I partly agree, I'd say it depends on the rules and enforcement. Some types of hits are a LOT more dangerous than others. But that particular kid was FAST; and while acceptance might be an issue at first, someone effective will usually get respect quickly enough. So I don't imagine she gets hit often at all, let alone in an illegal/unsportsmanlike manner. |

It is an inevitable part of the game. And even if the hits are not that often, they may cause damage, especially for kids. |

Health risk in American Football is far too high...especially starting at a young age.. www.biomedcentral.com/about/press-centre/science-press-releases/19-09-17even now UK football (soccer) forbid heading in training edition.cnn.com/2020/02/24/sport/fa-soccer-headers-scli-intl-gbr-spt/index.htmlAmerican Football is still no thing in Germany...although a big rising of memberships up to over 60.000 members ...there are still more members in chess...members in real football/soccer over 6.000.000 Baseball a bit over 20.000 members Off Topic: The whole sports system in football/soccer does not work , is not efficient. In the US parents paying for coaches so that their kids get to college without tuition and playing there only a few month each year. US Major League is a joke...third league quality in Europe. In Europe parents don‘t pay anything...so only the best get booked by Bundesliga Youth Teams.. with academies/school..and everything gets paid ...still only a 1% chance to make it...so they are getting prepared for future/jobs/university...and as there is no tuition in Germany... If you want to become a professional football/soccer player college/university is a no go..to have to play 24/7.. With the US sports system USA will never be competitive in men football/soccer...it works in the moment for women because of the number of females playing football/soccer in the US...still a big advantage to other countries. |

Mark of an athlete?
Both Sky Brown (Pro Skateboarder, Pro Surfer and DWTSJr Champion) and Sam Gordon (Football and Soccer overachiever) have identical birthmarks under thier right eyes. Both are exceptional athletes. Have I stumbled upon the "Mark of an Athlete?" Both have active You Tube channels...worth a look.
