Wow, this is a interesting question! I did some quick research, and I assume that "Roland must practice every day if he wants to be picked first." is correct. 

First, let us define external conflict:
Struggle of a character against a external force.

In the answer I provided, Roland must compete other players to get picked first, thus it is external conflict. 

"Roland must ride his bike through a monsoon to get home" isn't that much of a conflict. Roland isn't competing against anything. 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's what I think. 

Good luck!
