Quote of the Day

From Jessie Diggins, who scored her first podium (a silver!) yesterday in a world cup sprint race (after dominating the national championships in Rumford last week). Jessie skied for Stillwater HS in Minnesota.


"If you want to go faster, you have to be dedicated and train a lot. Most anyone can do that. But the real secret to training hard and ENJOYING IT???

It’s easy. It’s called a TEAM.

There are some days when you just don’t want to get up and out the door. But it’s easy to motivate yourself if you know that there will be other people there willing to work and get it done. I know if I drag myself out to the team workout, there will be talented athletes there who will push me and help me through. I know that if I throw the medicine ball up, there’s going to be someone who’ll catch it."
