Our Elite Softball 16U team recently played in a 3 day tournament. They were playing "up" at the 18U level. They got off to a rough start on Friday losing their first game.
As they regrouped after the first day they ended up playing and winning SIX consecutive games on the final day to win the championship.
Most teams were dragging after playing 2 games while the White Sox players were still going strong- evident by the fact that they hit 6 home runs over the course of the day.
A team playing six games in a row- no rest- theoretically should be primed for defeat. However, unknown to competitors, hidden within their muscles, lungs and heart lies the difference. They are physically prepared, and that's tough to contend with.
