Since the beginning of history, sports have defined people both athletically and characteristically. In "We Are Lane One," Emily LaFont shares her experience as a new member of the swim team. She details how hesitant she was at joining the team since she had never competitively swum before and frankly wasn't that good. Although she doesn't break any swimming records that season - she learned a lot about herself.
This radio piece about being the weakest link on a team is humorous and engaging while at the same time informative. We learn that everyone has a role on a team, even if that means cheering on the other athletes.
Even though this piece held my attention until the end, some background music or swimming pool sounds could have added a nice touch.
