Valerie Mulcahy: Playing sport allows girls to grow into well rounded adults

I never enjoyed pulling on boots in January, my least favourite time of year, writes Valerie Mulcahy. 

I always associate it with cardiovascular work. Or to put it less eloquently, running in muck until you nearly got sick.

I don’t miss that aspect of the sport I spent so much time playing, but next month, the boots will be on again, only this time I will be on the sideline, setting out cones and giving instructions.
