@Ismone: The Disgrasian link is quite thoughtful, and mentions how she is very self critical. So...unsure what you're proving here. Is she not critical enough?

@pixiedust8: She didn't pick the headline or the excerpts, which pretty much disassociated the excerpt from the whole point of the memoir — which is that she realized that her parenting methods weren't working?

@smartgal: Plenty of players will wear long sleeved shirts and leggings under the jersey and shorts, which is how I've seen most covering Muslim women athletes do it.

Another person chiming in to say that marching band is a hugely physical activity, and definitely got me more in shape than PE ever did. It's so physical, in fact, it gave me the debilitating sports injury that I still have today, six years later!
