When I first arrived in Amsterdam I noticed that it was all over the news the women were starting to play soccer and it was an &#8220;unusual&#8221; thing. When I talked to locals, I realized how big soccer in the Netherlands was with big teams like AJax(Amsterdam) and Feyenoord(Rotterdam), but no one talked about the women;s teams other than the fact that it was new. This sparked my research question: what has caused the increase in female soccer players in the Netherlands? So 4 weeks I was interviewing soccer players all across the Netherlands trying to figure out the reason women started to play and why women weren&#8217;t playing before. I found out that there were a lot of stereotypes about females playing soccer prior to 2010 when the Dutch National Women&#8217;s Team came in 3rd in the European Championship. After this match was aired all over the media, there was a significant increase in women and girls soccer and it got rid of stereotypes about women playing soccer.<\/p>\n<p>While I was doing this research, I also had a lot of free time to explore the city of Amsterdam one last time(so sad). I found the cutest coffee shops and some cozy places to work on my research paper. Honestly, I wish I would&#8217;ve found these places earlier because they really make Amsterdam the amazing city that it is.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/letters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/IMG_0219-1-225x300.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-15651 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/letters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/IMG_0219-1-225x300-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/letters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/IMG_9058-225x300.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-15652 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/letters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/IMG_9058-225x300-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/letters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/IMG_9095-300x225.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-15653 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/letters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/IMG_9095-300x225-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/letters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/IMG_9283-225x300.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-15654 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/letters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/IMG_9283-225x300-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While spending my last month in Amsterdam, I had to complete a 4 week research project on a topic I chose that related to gender studies.
