Since the beginning of the summer it has been our goal to have our Bedford girls be the fittest in the league. We know whenever players are in top shape, they will perform their best with the soccer skills they've worked so hard at achieving. The other thing we've observed is that many games are won in the last 20-30 minutes because the fittest girls (teams) have the ability to keep up the quick pace and wear down their opponents. The girls have been working hard at achieving the goal of a 2-mile in 16 minutes 45 seconds. To date we've had 4 girls accomplish this and they are guaranteed a starting position on the varsity team. To fill the other seven positions, the girls ran 2 miles on Friday and the top 7 finishers will round out our starters. Any girls who did not make it in a top position to start varsity games, can challenge anytime they want. If they complete their 2-mile required time, then they will become a starter. So big congratulations to our 11 starters for this week!
It's going to be one very exciting season for this team of incredible girls. Come out and support us!
Tuesday - Away at Penn Cambria (4:00)
Thursday - Home with Forest Hills (7:00)
Good luck girls.....all you've worked hard for will be put to the test starting this week. I love this quote by Mia Hamm:
“I've worked too hard and too long to let anything stand in the way of my goals. I will not let my teammates down and I will not let myself down.”
