Zee Speed is a program that truly gives back to the community and gives teens an opportunity to succeed both on the field and in life. When I first started zee speed I was entering my Junior year at Lakes and I knew that the upcoming year was full of challenges that would either make me or break me. That summer I not only learned how to overcome obstacles but also I learned that I needed to challenge myself if I wanted to get anywhere in life. After pulling my quad Zee Speed helped me stay in shape without further injuring myself and it showed me that nothing could stand in my way. I took the knowledge that I learned that summer into my Junior year and immediately saw a difference. I became more of a leader on my high school and club soccer team and continued to my push myself to meet my goals. My first summer of zee speed helped to push me to the next level of competition and this summer it will do the same as I prepare for my first year of college this fall. The training that I experience this summer will not only prepare me for the beginning of my college athletic career, it will also prove to me that by pushing myself on the field I can also push myself in the class room. Zee Speed isn't a simple training camp. It prepares you for your sport through challenge and teamwork. It prepares you for the class room through accountability and hard work. Most importantly it prepares you for life through determination drive and passion. Michaela Larson Graduated Lakes High School 2010 Attending St. Edward's University
