Announcement
Tuesday, March 25th - Check in Day
Good morning everyone,
We, as coaches, have been wondering how everyone is doing. Not seeing you every day is already tough on all of us, but we want to know. Check in with us! Hearing your feedback after a workout has always been important. I have watched all of Patrick’s videos, and I hear him give workouts based on those “in shape” or “not there yet”. I wonder too as I type up the workout to you how you are doing.
The reality of each of your training situations is different: the time of day for your workout; the conditions and/or location for your workout; are you by yourself or do you have a sibling or parent with you during a workout; your diet-sleep-hydration habits; and ________ (fill in the blank for what I am missing). These all factor into how your training is advancing. With that said, I do feel for you specialized event athletes the most. I wish I could give you access to hurdles, a shot put, a discus, a high jump pit, a sand pit, and poles and vaulting pad. However, keep mental training to always be ready.
We can’t control what type of season we will or will not have. What we can control is how we respond to the situation we currently have. Relationships are a control factor and I would argue the biggest one as we look at the big picture of life. We have been forming or have formed relationships with our teammates and coaches because of track and field. Keep nurturing those. Those go beyond the season and will impact us in ways that we already know or do not understand yet, but they will be a bigger influence on us than our season (if we have a short season or none at all). The unknown of this situation is challenging to comprehend, but as I have stated many times that “everything happens for a reason” and IT IS God’s plan and that in itself is our comfort.
Keep training to be ready, check in with us. Type a comment on your coaches workout post here on Teampages. If you don’t want it public, you may go under the “Roster” tab and “message” the coach you work with the most when we were together face to face to let them know how you are doing.
Let us know what we can do for you! We care for you and miss you!
