team dimaOur Junior Varsity Boys played some amazing soccer at Le Rosey yesterday. They won all their games to make it to the Finals but were then confronted to a very mentally and physically strong team. Our boys were extremely nervous to play against this team that was both taller and bigger than they were but played a very even game till the last minute when they conceded the goal that made Champittet beat them! What a deception but at the same time, what a great way to learn. Our boys came back knowing that size isn’t everything and that the mental part of sports is just as important as the skill part! Good job boys and Coach Guillermo for a great tournament! 13 teams and a second place!
