A couple sayings to take into the weekend...

From Mia Hamm;

* "I'm building a fire and everyday I train, I add more fuel. At just the right moment, I light a match."

* "The vision of a champion is bent over, drenched in sweat, at the point of exhaustion, when nobody else is looking."

* "I am a member of a team and I rely on them, I defer to it and sacrifice for it. Because the team, not the individual, is the ultimate champion."

And from the documentary "The long green line" about an Illinois high school cross country coach who took his team to 25 State Championships;
* "Don't waste all those months of training, hard work & sacrifice by not giving it everything you've got."

Think about these when you take the field this weekend Sodium. Give it all you have, you are champions.

GO SODIUM!
