Sports are a Game of Thought
BY RYAN BROCKA
MBS CITIZEN; BLAIR CITY
 Sports are not only a way for citizens to exert themselves physically but also a chance to mentally exercise. This is especially true here at MBS, where delegates are not only extremely intelligent but also excellent athletes. Some of the greatest athletes of all time understood the importance of using their minds while playing. Yogi Berra once famously quoted that “baseball is ninety percent mental.” As a long-time Yankee, Yogi understood how important using his brain was while competing. There is an outstanding athlete at MBS that understands the same concept. Carnahan citizen Colby Teeman is an excellent football, basketball, and track athlete in his hometown of Butler and is also a member of National Honor Society, quiz bowl, and is student council vice president. Colby plans on participating in softball, bowling, and Frisbee golf during his stay at MBS. “Focusing as much as possible on winning” is Colby’s advice to fellow athletes. He also states that “winning is the most important thing, because when you are winning you are always having fun.”
