Homegrown Talent

The Snider twins: from the dojang to the gridiron to college soccer

Long before the college scholarships, Emma and Megan Snider were two of Mr. Doug's Taekwondo students in Savannah, earning national medals as kids. That foundation of footwork, balance, and toughness carried them onto a youth tackle-football field as two of the only girls in their league, and eventually all the way through college soccer. As Emma put it back then, they wanted to show that "boys aren't always better than girls at sports."
