In high school I wanted to make this select soccer team called Bellotti Sports United. They were sponsored by an Italian soccer shoe and wore La Coq Sportif uniforms and played the best soccer I had ever seen. They had just won the state title the previous year.
I joined the cross country team to get in better shape and the crazy coach made us run up a MOUNTAIN!!!!
It hurt and the only thing I said to my self running 8 miles up that F*&$@eR was...
"I'm going to make team Bellotti I'm going to make team Bellotti I'm going to make team Bellotti I'm going to make team Bellotti I'm going to make team Bellotti I'm going to make team Bellotti I'm going to make team Bellotti I'm going to make team Bellotti"
I made it up that damned mountain and later that year I made the team. I believe its a balance between the mind convincing the body to do something. Or as Morrissey says "Does the mind rule the body or the body rule the mind, I don't know"???:)
Here is a replica of what the Italian World Cup Champs wore this year, ours were all blue but very similiar. Very expensive but last forever, I still wear some of the shirts today.
