It's crazy how things have changed since we were younger. Coaching at Lutheran has definitely made me very aware of how different things are for these young women. It's nice to see a man with some perspective about all of this as well. Kudos to you! Well put Chris. It’s crazy how things have changed since we were younger.

I look back at pictures of myself and my girlfriends in our middle school/high school days and we were very plain. We wore T-Shirts and Jeans and lacrosse shorts and our hair was usually in a pony tail. We weren't all that concerned with looking perfect. Now, at 25, the amount of time it takes to look 'acceptable' is unreal. I'm much happier in my sweatpants and a t-shirt from high school than out at a bar under what feels like pounds of makeup trying to look like every other girl. At least I had a childhood without the pressure of perfection. I have a sense of self and can brush off the pressure, but what's to come of the middle school girls of today? Kudos to Dove for stepping out from the norm. I couldn’t agree more. I look back at pictures of myself and my girlfriends in our middle school/high school days and we were very plain.
