The language used is not mean't to offend but to inspire. If I offended you in any way, sorry. This is my writting style, you will either like it or hate it. If you do not like it or it serves you no purpose, no problems. There are plenty of other sites you can read. My subscribers and followers are all predominately males. The posts are for everyone though. Instead of complaining about the language, pass on the message and lessons yourself. They do not have to read it themselves. Remember this Tony, I do this because I love the sport. Have I asked you to pay for anything? Am I selling you anything? All I'm doing here is passing on 30 years of my experience. If you think what I write about is irrelevant, good luck my friend. No hard feelings. Tony what you decide to do with this information is entirely up to you.

However, the language is sexist and not appropriate. There is no way I would invite my 14 year-old daughter or 16 year-old son to read an article that asks, "If you have ..., the balls ..." This old-boys locker room talk is outdated and harmful. It implies that athletic performance is somehow associated with gential existence, size, prowess...or worse! It is not true for boys or girls, and this is a perpetuation of an archaic and small-minded way of thinking. This post is generally good. However, the language is sexist and not appropriate.
