National Girls and Women in Sports Day
Posted by Aurora Tights on
February is filled with many holidays like Black History Month and Valentines Day. But there is a holiday that we need to recognize more and it is National Girls and Women in Sports Day. It's a little funny because it's a day just in the first week of of February. It isn't an exact date but the holiday is still important anyway. It was created to acknowledge accomplishments of athletes, recognize the influence of sports participation in women and honor the progress of women athletes. In 1987, this holiday was declared.
( Flo Hyman)
In its first iteration of the holiday, it was created to honor Flo Hyman. Flo Hyman is a American athlete who played volleyball. She was the second of eight kidsShe was self conscious about her height when she was a kid. She towered over her peers. Her parents instilled confidence in her throughout and told her to use her height to her advantage. She started to play volleyball with her sister and the rest was history. She played professionally starting when she was 16.
She attended college at the University of Houston. She was named as the collegiate All American three years running. She was the first winner of the Broderick Award. She was even the most valuable player in 1977. In 1985, she was named the All Time Great Volleyball players. She prematurely died in 1986 at the age of 31. In the following year, National Girls and Women made National Girls and Womens Day due to Flo Hyman. Her quest for equality and excellent sportsmanship was a great reason to create this holiday.

Hello everyone, I am from Wembley, Britain. I want to write this testimony to tell others and thank Dr. Odunga for what he has done for me. The first 12 years of my marriage I had 5 miscarriages and I was called all sorts of names by my mother-in-law and this my marriage life was very hectic and a burden of sorrow. I contacted Dr. Odunga for help and I will say that he is a very strong and honest man and he indeed helped me solve my problem. I saw his email in a testimony and I contacted him, little did I know it would be the end of all my problems. After 2 days of contact, I received a fertility herb and he told me to use it. The herb worked and my husband even loved me more and bought me expensive things. One afternoon, I went to a nearby hospital and came back home with the positive result of my pregnancy and after 9 months I gave birth to a baby boy. Ever since I contacted Dr. Odunga, my story has been different. I have 3 children at present and I am very happy in my marriage.

I gave it all i had to make it work in my marriage but he still left me and our kids. His family fought for me and still nothing changed and he left broken and sad. I manage to keep going on with the hope everything will get better for us one day and he will be back to you. He is a great father to the kids and i had great belief i will see him return back to us. I was lucky enough to got in contact with Dr Isikolo who indeed knew how to fix the problem and he did and to my surprise, my husband came back home to me. I am still amazed how it was possible but indeed this true. The result of his work is assured to manifest after 48 hours. My husband returned and i know better Dr Isikolo is truly a honest man anyone can trust. He is good in his job of fixing problems between partner and have them get back together again.
