Evander Holyfield, one of the last heavyweight boxing legends, recently celebrated his 50th anniversary and announced his retirement.

Are you an athlete? If so, most likely you participated in an organized sport in high school. As a young girl, facing challenges relating to competing can be daunting. I for one feel I benefited from playing sports (tennis and track) and as a result have used those experiences to guide me through my adult life. I am the stepmother of a graduating high school senior who has participated in the sport of girls’ gymnastics. She started her gymnastic career as a sophomore.
