The reason why a lot of girls liked sport was because it gave them the opportunity to get out of the classroom and enjoy some relative freedom for a while. I had no problems with my Gym mistress. She might have been a bit strict but was a very good athletics coach. I do not like to brag, but I won gold medals in both the 100m and 200m sprint at state level when I was about 17 and in my senior year at school. She knew how to get the best out of the girls. I admit that these days there would be a few raised eyebrows about her disciplinary methods, but who cares. She helped me to succeed.
