Lauren Silberman will make sporting history this weekend when she becomes the first woman to attempt to play American football professionally. Alongside hundreds of male hopefuls, the 28-year-old New Yorker will take part in one of 10 regional trials - known as "combines" - in an effort to catch the eye of dozens of scouts working for the National Football League's 32 clubs. Participation is by invitation only, once league officials determine you have potential. A kicker, with extensive soccer experience including college play, she holds a masters degree from MIT. Good luck.
