In this episode of Spin It On Sports, we have a 16-year-old that is defying all stereotypes and showing us that talent is talent, no matter your gender.
Brooklyn Harker is a female free safety and wide receiver for the Chapel Hill High School Tigers. With the rising number of girls looking to play tackle football, Brooklyn can now be a role model for anyone looking to defy their own stereotypes.
This young woman is destined for greatness with her grit, tenacity and heart. She shows us how there are no longer these hard lines between girls and boys in sports. It’s all about how well you can play and the attitude you bring to the field.
