Note from Stacey

Last Thursday’s tests went pretty well. My PFT score was 57%, a little lower but still within a good range. I continue to play badminton with the team. They are good players, and I have a lot to learn. I am finding it a very humbling experience to play actual games. I tend to lose a lot, but I am hoping that I am at least improving my skills and fitness level. The assistant coach, Jon, showed me some important moves for singles strategy that I’m hoping will help my game. To me, sports are more than a game. Participating makes me feel more alive and gives me a sense of accomplishment because it is working towards improving my health. Stacey, from Belmont
