To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice your gift. ~Steve Prefontaine
Six Rossi swimmers were eligible to compete with the Zone 3 team in the All-Star meet last weekend.
It poured relentlessly the entire time. But I can tell you this much: it wasn't as cold as the previous meet in Napa. I'm speaking for myself, not for the swimmers =.\
One of the highlights that weekend is that they all get to stay at a hotel getting to know their teammates (from different Zone 3 teams). It was like one big sleep-over with chaperones all over, of course. I know my daughter enjoyed this experience.
These meets will not exist without the support of families (both young and old.) Thank you for always being there!
Although Zone 3 (in black caps) didn't place 1st, 2nd or even 3rd, the experience in itself is worth taking home and using it as a launching pad for the next meet--All-Star or not.
Till then, work hard, play hard. Most importantly, stay connected with your loved ones especially in this day and age when the tendencies are to be "too busy." I know. I'm guilty of such.
With that said, go HERE* for more photos. Also, Nathan's uncle, Daniel Do, took awesome pictures that day. Check it out HERE where he put together a slideshow with professionally-done collages. He'd like to come again and take more photos. Is that cool or what? "Thanks, Daniel. Looking forward to seeing you soon."
In the meantime, we hope to get more Rossi swimmers join the All-Star meet next year. So, let's get to work. And remember...
"Everytime you are not practicing, someone else is...when you play them, they will win." ~Author Unknown
Men succeed when they realize that their failures are the preparation for their victories. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
