Clark, of course, is the basketball phenomenon who is electrifying fans across the country with her deadeye 3-point shooting, mind-blowing passing and exhilarating team play. Most importantly, Clark, along with her teammates and coaches, has changed how girls and women's sports are played, and perceived, forever.
At a time when very few women attended college, my mother made up her mind to pursue a degree at what today is the University of Northern Colorado, majoring in physical education - what we now know as exercise science.
For many years, my mother taught high school physical education - encouraging girls to appreciate their bodies and to build strength and confidence through physical fitness and sports.
We learned field hockey, basketball, golf, tennis and other sports while the boys were playing dodgeball in the much larger 'boys' gymnasium.
