A Battle to the Top

You find that you have peace of mind and can enjoy yourself, get more sleep, and rest when you know that it was a one hundred percent effort that you gave- win or lose.
-Gordie Howe

I just realized that I never introduced myself to you all. Well better late than never, I'm Victoria, and if you couldn't already tell my goal for this blog is to teach my fellow females a thing or two about sports. I like to relate my knowledge or current sports news to every type of girl: the girl with a sense of humor, the girl who is boy crazy, or the girl who is a child at heart and still lives in a fairy tale world.

I want you ladies to understand that there is more to sports than what meets the eye, or more than what you hear when your boyfriend won't shut up over dinner about the upset of last nights game. Yeah I've been there!

So far I've tried to show you all that sport has everything that we like and understand: dancing, history, drama, and boys!  





If your still reading this blog and don't fully understand sports and the hype that goes along with it. Think about sports and the games like epic stories that tell of a teams battle to the top.

Just think about it. These players battle it out (like knights and dragons) on the court or field with one goal in mind to win and prove that they are the best. Their strength and endurance is tested throughout each match. All come to watch in hopes to witness something great.

However, sometimes our heroes fall short or are taken down by not deadly dragons, but by injuries or the rival team. If not prepared and ready for battle the teams must hang up there jerseys and reminisce on what could have been.

Watching games, buying memorabilia and creating your fantasy teams is actually a way of becoming apart of the game. Its kinda like a guys fairy tale. As girls we want to grow up to be princesses, well boys want to grow up and be professional athletes.

Its actually really sweet and beautiful if you think about (shhhh... don't tell the boys).

Give it a chance ladies. Think deep about the passion, sweat and tears, and how these athletes are driven to win and become successful. Doesn't that sound like a good story?
