Since Sadie and Digger are two athletes training for the Olympics, any type of conflict that enters their life will affect them drastically. Although the accident Digger and Sadie get into while on their way back from a small weekend vacation, changed both their lives forever. Sadie was so badly injured that her dream of winning a gold medal at the Olympics was history. The entire book has been based on her training and goals for the Olympics, until near the end her dreams were crushed. The entire plot of the book was changed because as a reader I assumed the ending would be of her accomplishment at the Games. This not only conflicted with Sadie physically and emotional but conflicted with Digger physiologically. Sadie did finally realize that her dream was gone and becoming better was her knew goal, but since Digger was the driver at the time of the accident, he brought it all upon himself. He felt like it was his fault she wasn’t able to go to the Olympics and was guilty about even training. This affected his performance in practice because he just couldn’t stop thinking about how he crushed the dreams of someone he loves and also the fact that the dream was the same as his own. They both wanted to go to the Olympics but in reality Digger was the only one capable of doing so.
