People always say men and women / boys and girls can’t play in the same sports team, with difference in biological aspect, physical aspect and mental aspect. After reading this book, you will have different perspectives on this issue, with the given points of view and information in the fact box, though the data is just preliminary, as a reader you will think in a more different way.
It is good to let juniors know, men and women are the same, everyone is special and should be treated the same. No matter in playing sports game or in other aspects of life, it is important for juniors to learn about equality and respect, just like being an athlete, both of them need to learn the same set of skills, adhere to the same set of sports rules, and all paying as much effort as they can to become a professional player. Through the process, both of them built up self-confidence and being encouraged which are important roles in their lives.
Bullying is a morbid in every walks of life, it also existed in the field of sports. For example, a girl would be bullied if she plays with boys in the same team; or even boy’s parent would take action to stop a girl who plays in the same team with their sons. It is unreasonable for this situation to happen nowadays! Men and women should be treated the same as all sports team players had met the requirement and professional standard to become a member of sport team and we can’t simply deny one’s effort simply from gender.
This book can bring up new ideas for juniors to learn about equality, respect, confidence, encouragement and safeness, and it also encourages boys and girls to play together in the same sports team!
