(who remained untreated, of course) played soccer from age 5 all the way through high school. She is somewhat sturdily built and was absolutely fearless. She eventually developed into a defender, and her lack of height proved a positive advantage as she could get between the feet of an opposing player and steal the ball and also cause the other player to go down while she either kicked it to a teammate or made off with it herself. She rarely ended up on the ground herself, which gave her the nickname of "Weeble"... as in "Weebles wobble but they don't fall down!"
