I think the Olympics would be the most difficult sporting event of any sporting event on earth. These athletes spend hour upon hour, year upon year to compete in an event that lasts in some cases less than 1 minute. Any error in the skeleton, for example, will cost you a medal. The difference between the gold medalist and the last place individual in the 2014 Sochi Olympics was barely 1 second. Could you imagine, 1 second quicker and you would be a gold medalist. What proper and correct training for these athelete does is gives them an opportunity to perform up to their potential for the length of their event. They prepare physically, psychologically and in some cases spiritually for their one chance of being the best in the world. Their training increases their ability for them to perform to their maximum potential.
I have been waiting all year for the game where I believed all of our hard work would show our potential as a team on the field. Murray was this game. I saw our one touch passing disassemble their midfielders, I saw our fitness frustrate their forwards, I saw midfielders finish from outside the box, I heard us talk, move, pass and sprint back to our positions. Had we not done early mornings and so much training, we would not have been capable to perform at this level. Murray and just recently Alta are the only two teams in the state that have played Bingham (Ranked #2 in state 5A) and not lost. Murray was ranked in the top 5 4A teams in the state even after we beat them the first time. They are a great team and we made it look easy.
Great job guys, now let's show Orem
