Soccer's a rough sport; it takes a toll on you both physically and mentally. From fitness sessions to ninety minutes of game-play, things can get pretty rough on and off the field. However, as a girl, there are some things that only female soccer players can relate to in addition to the other struggles every true soccer player faces. Here are 10 things that every soccer girl knows to be true.
1. She's The Man is a way of life...
Soccer, good looking guys, and a main character who has gross bad habits just like the rest of us-- what more could a soccer girl ask for?
2. ... and so is Bend It Like Beckham
3. You're scared to get pedicures
On the very rare occasion that I do get a pedicure, I always lead with " I am so sorry about this!"
4. What upper body strength?
Our arm strength is pretty much nonexistent. I can't speak for everyone of course, but my arms are basically noodles.
5. Soccer moms
I'm sure the boys get this too, but it really does get pretty bad.
6. Speaking of boys
Breaking ankles is always fun, but it's so much more satisfying when the ankles belong to a guy who thinks your skills aren't as good as his.
7. Makeup?
What's that colorful stuff you put on your lips called again?
8. Eating habits
When it comes to food, nothing stands in your way. You can eat with the best of the boys.
9. Jeans never fit
So tight in the thighs, so loose in the waist!
10. The worst... chest balls
Do I even need to explain?
