Tolland’s Katy Sprout is a cham-pion.

She’s actually a champion several times over.

With titles in state meets, state open meets, regional meets and team titles to boot, the recent graduate has had

a lot of success during her four-year career as an Eagle.

“I think my three consecutive years as the state open 300 hurdle cham-pion would be one of my proudest accomplishment,” Sprout, who cur-rently holds seven school records, said. “Also placing sixth at Nationals a couple weekends ago in 400 hurdles. Also getting the state record in that

event.”It’s likely that had the reigning New

England champ continued to think, she would have thought of several more accomplishments. And why not? She is one of the most decorated sprinters in recent memory.

“Probably my sophomore year at Tolland,” Sprout said, looking back at when she first knew she was good enough to fill a trophy case, “I broke the school record by a lot. I was so young and it opened up that I could be successful and go far even as a sophomore.”

Running track can be a lonely endevor, with a bevy of opponents and the unforviging clock to contend with, and only ones self to rely on. But through hard work, repitition and slic-ing fractions of a second off a finely coreographed half-minute sonata on

the pavement, Sprout has honed her craft better than anyone in the state of Connecticut.

Picture this: Six young boys on a lake-front beach with a volleyball net, two rackets and a shuttlecock (that’s a birdie for you non-badminton experts). Me sit-ting on a lounge chair watching. Let the games begin.

It was a perfect start to a relaxing va-cation. I sat and watched as these boys embarked on organizing a badminton tournament. It was single elimination and they declared a winner about every 15 minutes before starting the tournament all over again. Here were the rules:

1. You can serve the birdie — I’m not a badminton expert — overhand or under-hand from anywhere you want on your side of the net. Inbounds or not.

2. If the birdie goes over the net and lands anywhere on the other side — in the sand, the lake, a boat or on the moun-tain — it’s good.

3. If the birdie hits the net at any time you take it over. It doesn’t matter which side of the court it lands.

4. If the birdie is on your side after the point, you serve it. No questions asked.

5. Play to 100 by 10s. If someone loses track, just guess the score.

6. Winner stays, loser swims. And swimmer has just as much fun swimming as when playing. Everyone was having a great time. Win or lose, all you could hear

was laughter and cheering from every player. I was amazed that six children, ranging in age from seven to 12 could all get along so well. No arguing, no tears, no name-calling. Just a lot of fun. …

And then I got involved. I thought to myself, Why not teach them the real bad-minton rules? But still keep it simple. So here were my suggestions:

1. Serve underhand only. It’s actually easier for most.

2. Use boundaries. Just draw lines in the sand.

3. Play to six to keep the games short. More chances to play and swim.

4. Serve five times and then your op-ponent serves five times. Everyone can count to five.

The players were leery at first, but soon all agreed. They seemed to be excited to know the real rules of the game. I proudly returned to my chair having taught these

eager boys the right way to play bad-minton. I applied more sunscreen to my reddening face and was just getting back into my book when, all of a sudden, the arguing started.

“It’s in!” “It’s out!” “You already served five times.” Etc., etc. Soon the tears start-ed flowing and one player stormed off the beach because he couldn’t serve it un-derhand. Now, just one hour into my va-cation, I seemed to have the entire beach in an upheaval. I quickly suggested they go back to their old rules. They refused, insisting on playing the “right way.”

I sheepishly walked away from the ar-guing and crying and headed to the end of the dock. I jumped in the lake. It was a simple jump. No cannon ball or swan dive. There were no judges there to cri-tique or correct me or tell me how a real diver would do it. As I turned and looked back to the beach I thought to myself, Maybe the boys were playing the right way before I got involved, simply be-cause it was their way.

Sometimes kids just need to be left alone to make the rules and play their way, whether it’s by the rules or not.

South Windsor Little League has been extremely successful in recent years, and Al Maximino has been a guiding force behind this success.

Maximino, the current Little League president, has served in a variety of leadership positions over the past 20 years, and has helped the league grow into a community institution. Dur-ing Maximino’s tenure, South Windsor Little League has grown in size and stature and imple-mented a variety of improvements to its facilities. Even more impressive than Maximino’s a c c o m p l i s h -ments is the admiration and affection fellow league leaders, parents and players have for him.

M a x i m i n o has served as league presi-dent for the last eight seasons, and among his many accom-plishments is upgrading the quality of the fields and dug-outs the league uses and plac-ing lights on one of the fields used by teams in the Majors di-vision. He also led the effort to add a sec-ond league for the division. He was the main organizer of the league’s 50th and 55th anniversary ceremonies and was also involved in renaming the field used by Majors teams to the Craig A. Pepin Field.

Despite all these impressive ac-complishments, Maximino’s greatest achievement is the level of respect and trust he has earned from fellow league leaders and coaches, parents and players.

“Al gives us directors and coaches constant reminders that we’re here to make sure the players learn the game while having fun,” said Pete Romani-

ello, the league’s secretary. “He wants to help kids leaving the league feel like playing baseball was the best experi-ence of their lives.”

“The players come first for Al. He is dedicated to making our league the best possible experience for young athletes in South Windsor,” said Frank Macchi, who is the director of the Amer-ican League in the Majors division.

Vice president Paul Rozzero said that Maximino’s dedication to this mission allows players to be successful and

prepares them for high school and American Legion competition.

“As president, Al has established a great feeder pro-gram that the high-

er leagues rely heavily upon,” Rozzero said. “He helps kids become funda-mentally sound and completely prepared for higher competi-tion.”

Max im ino ’ s ability to form re la t ionsh ips with Little League play-ers, no matter how young, has been very re-markable.

“All the play-ers recognized Al and make a point to say hi and talk to him,” Majors (NL) Director Doug Battaglini said. “The kids’ inter-action with him shows that they really value his

leadership and the assistance he gives them.”

Finally, Maximino’s tremendous contributions to South Windsor Little League extends to his relationship with league directors. Maximino’s dedica-tion to his presidential role has allowed directors to be more effective in their positions.

“Al has helped teach myself and other directors how to balance all that goes into running the league,” Heikoff stated. “He makes sure that ever direc-tor feels like their opinions and efforts matter.”


Maximino an invaluable part of SW Little League


Tolland’s Andrew Schadt has made it to the Class M boys tennis doubles finals two years in a row; and he’s only a sophomore.

“I’d say there was extra motivation this year,” Schadt said of winning the doubles title in his second try. “I had to deal with the defeat from last year. I was motivated to play with a new part-ner. I’d say I was experienced from last year because last year I was a fresh-man. This year I knew what we had to do to win.”

Along with partner Dan Gadoury, the Eagles’ pair got off to a slow start when the match began at Yale in New Haven.

“We just came out a little tight and nervous and lost the first set 3-6,” Gadoury, a senior, said. “The second set, usually if we get up we will try and coast through it but this one we had to go out in the second two sets and get aggressive and take it to them. We won the next two 6-1,6-0. After losing the first set, everything was do or die. Se-nior year, win or go home.”

Gadoury, who will attend UConn in the fall and play club tennis, fell in the quarterfinals in 2012. The match seemed to be perfect; the younger, taller finals runner-up Schadt with the senior leader Gadoury.

“I was really excited about playing with Andrew this year,” Gadoury said. “He’s such a talented player who can take charge when he needs to. He can pick things up when I am down. We are very balanced as a team and we did a lot of practicing beforehand. We were ready for it even though we didn’t play much during the regular season.”

“I’d say we were on the same page,”

Schadt said of his partner. “Dan is a good senior leader, he was a great No. 2 singles player, I was No. 1. I asked if he wanted to play with me in states and we happened to win.”

After the three-set victory in the Class M state finals, Schadt looks to return in even better form in 2014. And he will need a new doubles partner for the third straight year.

“I think that’s the only sport I’m go-ing to do this year,” he said. “I was on JV basketball last year but I’m going to play tennis year round.”

Schadt hopes to be a threat in the singles bracket next season as well, a goal that will require more hard work and a different style of play.

“I am thinking singles next year,” Schadt said. “I would need to hit the ball harder and more consistency. Coach always says my serve needs to be a weapon. I need to get points off my serve to excel my game. When my vol-ley and ground strokes are good, I just need pace and consistency.”

CROMWELL — Former Ellington Ridge golf pro and West Hartford resi-dent Kyle Bilodeau didn’t shoot under par Thursday at the Travelers Championship.

He didn’t break any records, didn’t have any extravagant shots and did not make the cut for the weekend.

But at TPC River Highlands Thursday, the Connecticut native realized a lifelong dream.

“I had a blast out there,” Bilodeau, who shot an opening round 77, said. “It was a

great experience to be out there. I had a blast. It was a little frustrating. I couldn’t get a putt to go until the last green, but I had such a great time.”

The sectional qualifier was smiling from the first tee until the last, but was able to hole a 15-foot birdie putt on his final hole, the tenth, to put some punctuation on a day to remember.

“It’s an absolute dream come true,” Bi-lodeau said. “It took about three holes for my hands to stop shaking. It was a dream come true.”

A new experience for many reasons, Bilodeau played in front of large galleries

for the first time in his career, though a large portion of his followers were friends and family.

“It’s a lot to take in,” he said. “I’ve never played in front of this many people be-fore. I stood over my first tee shot and I could hear my heart beating in my ears.”

It has been almost 20 years since a sectional qualifier has made the cut, and a remarkable round would likely be nec-essary for Bilodeau to be able to achieve that feat. And with the golf course in pris-tine shape, it’s a tall order.

“You have to click on every single cylin-der,” Bilodeau said. “You can’t miss. Your

putting has to be there. Out here, if you miss by a fraction it’s magnified exponen-tially. There were a couple holes where I didn’t think I missed it that bad but I would be in the back left bunker.”

Dream comes true for former Ellington Ridge CC golf pro

CROMWELL — Golf can transcend sports in many ways. For Glastonbury na-tives Tim and Stephen Petrovic, the Travel-ers Championship offered much needed bonding, and healing, for two brothers.

“It’s been awesome,” Tim said after shooting a +1, 271 in the tournament. “Ob-

viously it’s nice to play for four days but the most important thing this week was having my brother on the bag and having him go 72 holes. He’s walking a little slower, pacing himself a little bit.”

A longtime tour veteran and winner in 2005, Tim reunited with his regular caddy Stephen for the first time since the younger brother was diagnosed with Luekemia.

“It means everything to us,” Stephen said.

“Especially being out of it, in the hospital. I’ve really been looking forward even to the chance to be out here, let alone being here. I am hurting a little bit. We have the Sunday bag out and I’m still on medication. It takes him a little time to get out of bed in the morning.”

But Stephen got up early, took his meds, lathered up in sunscreen and took the bag just like he did nearly every week back in the early 2000s.

“Tim and I have been coming to the GHO, as we still call it, since back in Wethersfield,” Stephen, a Glastonbury high class of 1987 graduate said. “I can remember shaking Bob Hope’s hand on the 18th green. I’ve been going to this all my life. Tim’s been Monday qualifying and trying to get exemp-tions since he was 15. It’s been great, and we always have a chance we think. We would really love to compete.”

STAFFORD SPRINGS — Stafford Speedway returned to NASCAR Whelen All-American Series racing action with the SK Light division taking center stage with a 25-lap Xtra Mart Xtra D feature that paid a $100 bonus to each of the top-5 finish-ers.

In the 20-lap Limited Late Model fea-ture event, the field took the green with Justin Bren and Don Wood side-by-side with Albert Saunders and Andrew Hayes before Bren took the lead on lap three. Saunders came back strong to Bren’s in-side on lap-4 to move the point.

With eight laps complete, Saunders had the lead with Don Wood, Arute, Burn-ham, Josh Wood, and Hinze lined up in single file behind him. Arute made the move around Don Wood for second on lap 11 and Burnham followed him through as Don Wood fell from second back to fourth as Saunders now had a lead of nearly a half straightaway over Arute.

With five laps to go, Saunders still had the lead over Arute, with Burnham, Josh Wood, Hinze, Hayes, and Austin Bessette behind him. Arute was unable to close the gap to Saunders as Saunders took down his very first career victory in the Limited Late Model division.

Rounding out the top-5 behind Saun-

ders and Arute was Burnham, Hinze, and Hayes.

In the 15-lap DARE Stock feature event, Alexandra Fearn took the lead at the green, but the caution came out be-fore a lap was completed as Vince Gam-bacorta lost a tire and hit the wall in turn 4. The race went back to green, but the caution came out again before a lap could be completed as Kris Fluckiger spun and came to a stop in turn 3.

The third restart attempt saw Fran Si-ana power into the lead with Brandon Michael moving into second. There was some four wide racing behind the lead duo and the cars of Kyle Casagrande and Alexandra Fearn became locked together and the caution came out with 1 lap com-plete.

Siana and Michael were side by side for the lead on the restart with Johnny Walker moving into third. Dave Secore made a strong move to take over fourth and Cliff Saunders was fifth.

Saunders take 20-lap limited title at Stafford

“I think the biggest thing is,” Sprout said, “no matter how big the race, is I just tell myself it’s the same race I’ve done over and over again. If I tell myself I’m prepared enough, I shouldn’t be too ner-vous. I should just go out there and have fun with it.”

For Sprout, the act of running track isn’t completely solo. After posting the best time of the day in her hurdle event, the Eagles’ captain has an entire team ex-cited to congratulate her.

“My team is so close,” Sprout said. “We have so much fun together. We really push each other a lot, we are very com-petitive, but we want to make each other better. We won state the past two years and were runners up the year before that. We are probably one of the strongest teams we’ve been in along time. We won our conference three out of four years. We’ve won a lot of invitationals together, it goes on and on.”

With the support of her teammates to lean on, Sprout is also thankful for a men-tor and tutor of a coach in Corey Bernier.

“I think my coach,” Sprout said, “he’s so knowledgable about track, I don’t know how he does it, but somehow he

just knows everything. Early in the spring when I hurt my foot I had such big goals, New England’s, State Opens, I wasn’t sure how I would fare when June came. But he knew all along that maybe it could make me stronger. He’s motivational and kept me together the whole time. I see it with everyone else, too, he can just push people. He gives them that extra kick and that extra drive.”

All of Sprout’s hard work has paid off, as her stellar academic performance paired with elite work on the athletic field has earned her the opportunity to attend Dartmouth in the fall.

“Academically its a great school I’m hoping to use that to my advantage and set myself for a great future,” Sprout said of her Ivy League decision. “The track team and track coach really drew me to the school. The coach, she’s very pas-sionate, she seems very knowledgable and very supportive of me during the ap-plication process and throughout my sea-son. I’m going to just see how it goes and work from there.”

Sprout also closed an important chap-ter in her life at Tolland, and will carry the memories with her to her new life as a college star.

“I think just being able to look back at

my four years at Tolland,” Sprout said, “it’s pretty crazy to look back at it now. I have so many memories when I was in the moment, and I have great memories to look back at whether it’s track or school events. Being a graduate, I learned a lot over my four years and I’m excited to ap-ply it now to real life.”

TheSportsDept.com Male Athlete of the Year


Somers’ Kyle Foster has a long list of achievements as a Spartan.

He won back-to-back state titles on the soccer field.

He was a four-time All-Academic All-Star as a wrestler, and helped lead the team to its first ever state title back in 2010.

He was first-team All-State as a la-crosse player, and made it deep into the playoffs in 2012.

Key to this success was Foster’s hard work early in his career, as a youth sports athlete and in middle school. It all start-ed with wrestling, and with one special coach.

“My wrestling coach, coach [Scott] Zachary, has been a family friend since I was little,” Foster said. “He got me into it in first grade and we have been working together ever since. We are very close, he’s my second father pretty much and he pushed me to my limits every year in wrestling.”

Success on the mat led Foster to find the same success in other sports at Somers, and Zachary was close behind

helping Foster adjust. “He knows every sport,” Foster said,

“He gives me advice on sports life and school. I will definitely continue a relation-ship with him for the rest of my life.”

From wrestling, a tough individual sport with no dependence on team, Foster was able to develop a strong drive to succeed and work ethic.

“It’s different in wrestling,” Foster said. “You don’t have to rely on anybody else to do what you need to do. In order to be good at lacrosse you need good team-mates. Just because I was all-state doesn’t mean I did everything. It’s differ-ent.”

The same holds true on the soccer field.

“We had a really close team both years,” Foster said of the 2010 and 2011 Class S state titles he won, “and I enjoyed every minute of it. We were really good, I only played half a game in both games. In 2010 we really had a strong defensive team, only allowed in one goal in the last minute of a game in the entire tourna-ment. In the 2011 we just ran through it like it was nothing. We had such a good team that we beat Litchfield in the finals 7-1.”

With so much post-season experience as an underclassmen, Foster was able to easily transition to a leadership role as he got older.

“For soccer, I was always experienced in playoff games,” Foster said. “Other la-crosse players never experienced a quar-terfinals, semifinals or finals game. They got nervous or anxious. I was more re-laxed and could help them through it. You always have to prepare yourself more for those special games. Some people don’t realize how important it is to prepare well. If you don’t want it more than the other team, they’re going to take it from you.”

With a full trophy case and memories to last a lifetime, Foster now hopes to

experience the same lucrative career as he begins college at Roger Williams Uni-versity.

In Rhode Island, he will study criminal justice and wrestle for the storied D-III program.

“I look forward to it,” Foster said. “High school is in the past now, I did my thing, I lived high school, I’m looking forward to college. I had a pretty successful high school career, whether it be academics or sports, and I’m ready to start the next chapter of my life.”

Honorable mention: Alex Zach-ary, Fermi, Avery Boissy, Enfield, Zach Rollins, Stafford, Kevin Mocadlo, East Windsor.

Somers’ Kyle Foster was a key member of the Spartans Lacrosse team.

Staff Reports

Many teams have already called it a year in Little League All-Star play, but for Rockville’s 11-12 coach John Miville, falling short of tournament play isn’t the measure of a great year.

“All in all its been good,” the coach said. “There’s been some pretty good baseball played. Unfortunately we lost a close one to Windsor so it looks like we will be out of it.”

Rockville got stellar play from several standouts, some of whom asserted them-selves as leaders on a team of stars.

“We’ve had Zach Woods, who has ba-sically caught every inning for us behind the plate,” Miville said. “He has done an awesome job, as has Devin Miville.”

South WindsorThe 11-12 boys has played very well

the first four games. Zach Donahue and Robert Williams have lead the team of-fensively (Donahue with 5 HRs and Wil-liams with 2 HRs). Anthony Conaci, Jack McCluskey, John Russo and Jay Fournier have all contributed with key hits. David Hansen, Isaac Bates and Jay Fournier have pitched well when

needed. Matt Sanchez, Matt Dion, Matt Chambers and Owen Pelletier have also played well in a supporting role.

On Wednesday, July 3, Tyler Kamm used his arm, Zach Hoffman used his bat and Colin Johnson caught a great game in a 9-2 win for the South Windsor 10-11 Nationals in pool play.

TollandTolland walked off against Vernon Fri-

day, July 5, thanks to a walk-off single by Tolland’s Matt Byam drove in Trey Gon-zalez in a 3-2 win for the 11-12 year-old All-Stars. The team also beat Manches-ter Sunday, 13-2, thanks in part to a 3-run homer off the bat of Jake DeMartino, and great pitching from Brian Clokey, Ryan Cyr, and Jack Doherty.

EllingtonEllington’s 9-10 All-Stars improved to

Locals shine at Junior PGA eventBy Evan MacySports Editor

GLASTONBURY — The Connecticut Junior PGA gives the best young golfers in the state an opportunity to face the best competition around while working on their game over the summer. At Glastonbury Hills on Wednesday, June 26, area golf-ers held their own in the tournament, with many posting impressive scores.

Glastonbury’s Albert Hansrisuk shot a 78 to finish in the top ten, thanks in part to a birdie in the par four 13th hole.

Tomahawks’ teammate Denis Biglin also broke 80 with a 79 on a cloudy day

on the course.It’s my home course, I like it,” the soon

to be senior at Glastonbury said. “I know the course well and it gave me a little bit of an advantage. I’m just trying to play a lot of tournaments to get some more experi-ence.”

Another Glastonbury golfer, Lauren Crouse, is working over the summer to get better with senior year on the horizon. She shot a 94, good for a spot in the top 10 in the girls division.

“It gave me a little bit of an advantage on the front nine,” Crouse, who finished seven shots behind Tomahawks teammate Eliza-beth Andrian, said. “I need to improve my

putting and hit it a little straighter.”Tolland’s Sean Benjamin had two bird-

ies on his back nine to muster an 89 in his second appearance in the Glastonbury Hills Junior Open.

“I played here last year,” the junior at Tolland said. “I like the course but I didn’t play well today. It’s fun to get the competi-tion outside of high school golf. I am doing a couple more tournaments and I need to improve my putting.”

Another local, Enfield’s Brendan Fahey was pleased with his performance, with a 97 on the day.

“I played pretty well, “ Fahey, who at-tends Northwest Catholic High School in

West Hartford, said. “I had some really bad holes and really good holes. I felt pretty good.”

Ellington soccer in the blood for new Knights coachBy Evan MacySports Editor

ELLINGTON — The Ellington girls soc-cer team will have a new coach in 2013. Coach Hostetler will be taking over for Coach Hostetler.

Melissa Morgan-Hostetler, who served for 16 seasons as the skipper for South Windsor’s girls soccer team, will take the reigns from her husband, John, who coached Ellington for one season in 2012.

Prior to last year, John led Ellington to three state titles and four finals appear-ances, the most recent of these in 1997. The coach stepped down for the first time in 2001. John is also the head basketball coach at Somers.

“When John had to give up his posi-tion at Ellington,” Melissa said, “I said ‘wow the opportunity is sitting in front of me again.’ I threw my hat in the ring. It went nicely, I had a great interview at El-lington. I am excited, they seem excited too. I went to Ellington, I am so glad to be back. A little piece of me has been miss-ing over the last two soccer seasons. The free time was nice but I don’t think I could have gone through another season with-out it, it’s in my blood.”

Melissa stepped down from her job at South Windsor due to the demands of a full time teaching job, and of raising three kids.

“We were both coaching varsity soc-cer, “ Melissa, an all-state soccer star

and state titlist at EHS under husband John, said, “we were coaching basketball together, and when we had our third son it got to be a lot. We had a conversation and said okay ‘you keep basketball I’ll keep soccer, so one of us is always at home.’”

The plan worked well for the family, but with a coaching duo like the Hostetlers, it wasn’t long before the bug to coach soc-

cer crept up again.“When the Ellington position opened

last year I contemplated it. This past fall, I took a new position at the middle school and thought, ‘wow, my schedule will allow me to do this.’”

With so much coaching prowess under one roof, the Hostetlers enjoy bringing their strategies and anecdotes home with them. And as a result, each continues to grow and improve at the craft they love.

“We do talk about coaching a lot,” Me-lissa said. “Way back when, when we were coaching together, it’s kind of how we started dating and got married. We

really enjoy it; it’s been a big part of our lives. Our kids are involved; we volunteer to coach their teams.”

Melissa is one of few coaches in the area with the asset of a three-time cham-pion in the family, and she makes sure to use it to her advantage.

“I really trust his judgment,” she said. “I have respect for him as a coach. He’s leaving me some big shoes to fill. I’m a little nervous about that. I really enjoy that part of our relationship. We can talk Xs and Os, and it’s an interesting but really great situation that way.”

CAMPION’S PIZZACAMPION’S PIZZA

By Matthew Leeds

MS, ATC, LATWhat is active rest?

This term may sound counter-productive, but is actually very beneficial to today’s athletes of all ages. “Active rest” is engag-ing in low-intensity exercise after a sea-son ends to help maintain one’s fitness level. Because it is thought that to master something you need to practice a spe-cific skill for 10,000 hours, parents and athletes alike feel like they will fall behind if they take any time off. However, this method of thinking can become detrimen-tal to health and performance. A long and physical season, regardless of the type of sport, will take a toll on the athlete.

Active rest activities may differ by ath-lete. For example, a lacrosse player prac-ticing active rest shouldn’t even pick up a lacrosse stick after the end of the season. Forms of active rest for this athlete could include, but not be limited to, playing bas-ketball, going for runs and lifting weights. This is different than when in-season and playing basketball, because you don’t want to risk injury playing another sport while competing in another and losing playing time.

According to the National Athletic

Trainer’s Association Position Statement on Pediatric Overuse Injuries, repetitive stress on the musculoskeletal system without adequate and appropriate prep-aration and rest can result in chronic or overuse injuries in athletes at any age. Constantly practicing a sport, specifi-cally a position or event (e.g. pitcher) can cause muscular imbalances, injuries or even just athlete burn out. It happens all too often that a promising softball or baseball pitcher will practice their craft over and over. Come senior year of high school, or even in college, the athlete can sometimes feel just “burnt out,” or that they “just don’t have it anymore.”

Aside from these reasons, it is common for athletes to suffer minor to major inju-ries during a season and the body needs that time to heal before jumping into the next sports season at school, or the vari-ous summer leagues the athlete wants to compete in. As stated earlier, there is nothing wrong with taking two weeks off to recharge the batteries mentally and physically.
