I play a lot of sports since I was 10 years old. The sports are swimming, badminton, frisbee, football, biking and running. As what I see including what the world see, in the past women don’t opportunity or rights to play sports. People don’t have value to women in getting into sports. Especially, the women in Cambodia they have to stay at home to take care of their beauty, walk in the gentle way, prepare to become a wife. Right now women try to get up to emerge more into the world simultaneously, try to get an education. Most of the women want to get into sports but most people in Cambodia don’t give value to women, women do no use to sports because of our past culture and they feel afraid to get into sports. Women kind of follow each other if their friends play sports they want to play too and it hard to start something different and new. Sadly, there are not much girls fight for sports. Currently, I am so proud to be one of the women that play sports in Cambodia. Sport change my life to be a stronger person and can overcome the fear. This is because sport most sport is competitive, find new strategies, meet new people, made new friends and learn new strategy from others. Before I get into sports I felt that I don’t want to be a girl. I saw other boys played ball and I can only sit to watch boy play. Liger Leadership Academy school give the opportunity for both boys and girls to play sports.
In October 2017 I went to Vietnam to play the spirit frisbee competition. I am so happy to see many girls participate. One of my highlights is that most girls score the points during the games. I play for the team called Bee Force mixed team. I am so proud to be the part of the team to represent for Cambodian. Whenever I play sports it always pushes me to work harder because I want to show boys that girls can be even better than them. I am trying to encourage more girl to participate in sports. I hope these will help everyone to give more opportunity for girls to play more sport.
Spirit game with other teams in Vietnam.
