While motorsports worldwide appears to be dominated by men, over the years, there have been several women who have taken on the boy’s club in the pits. Today the names of Danica Patrick and Courtney Force are familiar names to even the most casual viewer. However, just because Danica is a NASCAR regular and Courtney does burnouts on the NHRA tracks, does not mean that women have always found their way to the finish line. Fans of 1980s NASCAR may remember Shawna Roberts or Patty Moise, but neither woman made it much further than the lower tiers of the sport.

Throughout the last two weeks, I have been reading Patrick Ness’ Monsters of Men and Garth stein’s The Art of Racing in the Rain. I had 478 pages left of Monsters of Men and I finished that book.

Putting the fun back into physical activity for children will do wonders to foster PA. You don’t see children playing in neighborhoods anymore. A constructive approach to developing outdoor free play is, in my opinion, the cornerstone of developing a love of doing, moving, and being physically active.
