What do girls think of sport?

My friend’s daughter, Maisie, is nearly 7 years old. I was playing with Maisie in the back garden at the weekend, just kicking a ball about. “Do you like sport?” I asked her. She wrinkled her nose. “Not really. Sport is for boys and I’m rubbish anyway.”  Maisie’s Dad is a certified sports geek and a 5-a-side footballer. Her Mum enjoyed sport throughout her teens and twenties and is now a keen runner and gym-goer.
