What It Takes!

Last season FUEL accomplished unprecedented results —  FWC Champions, Southerns Champions, Conference Champions, Regionals Champions, and marking the 3rd Nationals birth for the FUEL program — nobody expected anything from the 2012 FUEL team.  With 10 players from last season’s team now gone, this 2012 team could have been satisfied with playing hard and preparing for a better chance next season.  But that’s not what it takes!  Instead, this team was hungry for greatness and had one opportunity to leave its legacy on the field.  That means nobody was going to be content with a pat on the back and someone saying ‘good season.’  They wanted to succeed as bad as they wanted to breathe… That’s what it takes!

After tryouts were over the Captains and seniors got together and set the goal for the season: Return to Boulder!  Team leaders ZJ, Jackie, Jenna, and Lili said, “We know we lost a lot from last season and we have big shoes to fill, but we’re willing to work harder than last year and do whatever it takes this year to get back to Nationals!”  As a result of this seed being planted, Emily Roberts, a 2nd year player, stepped up and vowed that she would be at EVERY practice and track workout this season even though she was injured and couldn’t play this year.  That’s unheard of but… That’s what it takes!
