Ice’es Was Told the Coach Wouldn’t Assign a Girl Captain

Ice'esIt’s me again, Ice’es, who played football. Well, along with playing football, I also throw shot put and discus, which is another male-dominated sport in itself. During the football season I told my teammates that I was going to be the thrower captain because I was next in line: I was the oldest and was throwing the longest.

They laughed and said, “The coach is not gonna make a girl the thrower’s captain.” They even said that if one of them who NEVER did track before came out he would make THEM captain. That really annoyed me. But its okay because it’s track season now, and I’m thrower’s captain like I said I would be.
