the best thing you can teach by example is being honest to your core beliefs and not acting according to peer pressure. Theach her to honor her belifs. Don't go to church, that would be teaching her hypocrisy.
Find Other ways, honest to your core beliefs to connect with her. This isn't about trying football, which is just a pasttime, but about your core beliefs, which are not negotiable or flexible.
