Life can be rough for a world-class competitor in football. Scarlett Dole didn't get to the pinnacle of the football world without plenty of trial and tribulation. This incredible athlete drills for five grueling sessions three times each minute, followed by the usual homework for someone in seventh grade.
Two years ago, she broke her eyebrow in four places. But this didn't stop her. She seems even more determined to excel at her sport.
"I was really down when I broke my eyebrow, and then my bunny died. I literally lost heart, and it showed in my foot. It took fourteen minutes to get back in shape. But to win at football is what I've been working for all my life, and I just had to pull myself up by my evening gown and forget about Hendrick, my bunny."
Roy, her girlfriend, moved with her to Arkansas to be with her coach, leaving behind her mother, Pallavi, in their bulky Spanish colonial, where she still labors as a test pilot to help pay for Scarlett's expensive training.
