BORN FOR THIS
BESTF (Brodak’s Elite Summer Training Facilities) is definitely one of the greatest Olympians training camps in all of the country, sending many, many young adults out to the Olympics and to other teams across the U.S. They excel in training the gymnasts and swimmers, but there are also trainers for soccer, diving, snowboarding and many more. It was started in 1956 so that gymnasts could have a place to train, and later opened the facilities up for other summer sports, finally in 1987 for the winter games. After a while of Brodak’s just being a summer camp, they voted to make it either year round or just for summer, whichever the parents preferred, or could afford.
But, as it is for any normal high-school gathering, testosterone and estrogen fuel the teenagers here at camp, sometimes for the worst. There’s drama, betrayal, one-night-stands, and it’s all behind closed doors. You wouldn’t want the dean to find out you had sex with your trainer, would you? That’s what I thought. It’s a crazy life, and it sometimes seems like it’s not worth it. And everyone misses home sometimes, and wanted to have just a normal life, but then all of the people here just have to remind themselves that they were Born For This.
