Recently, Elena was playing football at school during recess when a boy in her class came up to her and told her that, because she is a girl, she can't play the sport. Despite being upset in the moment, Elena responded to her classmate. "You're wrong because girls do play football, and there are two girls playing right now," she recalls telling him.
