Haley Davis TestimonialHi my name is Haley Davis. I am 13 years old and go to Coolidge Middle School. The sport that meant a lot to me in the Olympics was soccer. This is because I have played soccer since I was four, so pretty much my whole life. I have soccer 4 to 5 days a week. What can I say, I love soccer.World Fit was the best thing that could have happened to my school because it inspired not just me, but my fellow classmates too. It inspired people to get up and be active instead of sitting around watching television.I was so happy to see people actually outside playing sports and having a lot of fun. I was happy when I won World Fit, but anyone could have done it. All they had to do was to try really hard, and put some heart in to it! By: Haley Davis – October 12. 2010

Thank You!
My parents always encouraged me to get outside and get active, but I never used to listen to them that much. With World Fit it was the friendly competition that made me get up and exercise more, to beat the other schools, and my friends.
