Young women today continue to break barriers.  My two daughters, for example, play women's rugby -- and are really good at it.  On the right is daughter Caitlin O'Connor, 31, who is also a practicing naturopathic doctor (N.D.) here in Denver.  On the left is "little sis" Micaela O'Connor, 24, who is getting ready to attend chiropractic college.  They've been playing for years.

(There's a son in my family, too, but he doesn't play rugby.)

Their team is Denver Black Ice.  Caitlin also played for C.U., and for the Seattle Mudhens.  Micaela is on the West Regional team.

Micaela just returned from a weekend tournament in Albuquerque -- the 2010 High Desert Rugby Classic.  Black Ice won the tournament and Micaela brought  home the trophy for MVP.  Dr. Caitlin missed this tournament because she was officiating at a friend's wedding in the mountains.  Gen Y-- such multi-taskers!

There is often talk in the legal blogosphere about Gen Y and issues with these associates at law firms.  I just don't see it.  Take advantage of Gen Y's new way of thinking and problem solving.  My daughters have chosen the medical profession, but couldn't you use some competitive, aggressive, team players in your litigation practice -- women who are not afraid to get a little bit muddy if necessary?  By the way, one of their teammates (Bre Alexander) just passed the bar and is looking for a job in Denver.  She coached the team to this tournament victory.

As a rule, I try to keep my blog professional and my posts tightly focused on the subjects of content writing, lawyer and law-firm marketing, and the marketing uses of social media.  This post falls under the "proud parent" exception to the rule!

My daughter, Caitlin Raasch O'Connor, is a Licensed Naturpathic Doctor and a Certified Professional Midwife.  She graduated from Bastyr University, a five-year accredited program that included a two-year internship treating patients in the school's Seattle clinic, and recently completed an additional family practice residency at National College of Naturopathic Medicine in Portland, Oregon.

Last month, after six years of school and residency, Dr. Caitlin O'Connor returned to her home base of Denver.  She opened her own practice in the Highlands neighborhood and her own blog at All Families Natural Health.  She focuses on women's, children's and general health.  For more information about Dr. Caitlin O'Connor and/or naturopathic medicine, please visit All Families Natural Health.
