Olympic Commitment

Olympians make a serious commitment when they decide to be in the Olympics. They are dedicating themselves to hours and hours of practice each day and to keeping their schedules open when they're needed to practice more.

A commitment I've made that is most like the Olympics is to become a prancer. Being a prancer means that you need to dedicate yourself to practice during the school day and after school during your free time. When I became a prancer, these dedications were made clear to the whole team so that every girl would know that by becoming a prancer, they are making a big commitment. Prancers practice for an hour and a half each A day and after school every Wednesday. Sometimes extra practices are needed, so we practice even longer on Wednesdays and sometimes after church on Sundays. If a girl knows that she's behind everyone else, she'll need to practice even more on her own time. With all of these practices, the team gets better and better. By game night, the team looks great at half time. Being a prancer is a big commitment.
