Cathedral Track and Field 2020

Today’s Friday. Which means it’s time to get in touch with your small groups. A few things regarding small groups. 1. Are you looking to contribute ? 2. It’s much easier and more fun to lead / be part of a group that is communicating. So are you helping your captains by replying in a prompt manner, or replying at all? I ask that you all continue to challenge yourselves. I am not only asking you to challenge yourselves in running, but also in the areas which can help you to become a great team player. So, I’ll finish with: Have you been using the golden rule. In other words, would you want to lead you? If not, that’s ok. It’s never to late to throw in some more effort. Better late then never. If you can say yes to that question then great job, keep it up!
Either way you’re reading this now which means your off to a great start. Now take it a step further and continue to encourage your teammates, and also be encouraged.
Your order for videos today : “Feature Friday” , followed by your respective training group video.
Thanks for your willingness to learn, and your efforts. I appreciate them both very much.
Coach Patrick

… and really, this could be for anybody.

In the Media drop down menu, click on documents and find the DAREBEE.COM pdf. It is actually titled “strength-protocol”, but is within the DAREBEE.COM website. This is a site that was shared with me when we went into stay-at-home mode in March. If you look through this site, it is an excellent site for workouts that are body weight and do not require equipment. So the “Strength-Protocol” is just one of many that you should consider. It encompasses all the muscle groups with many anti-movement qualities. There are many different options within this website, but I firmly believe that the strength program that will work for you is the one that you believe in. You will put in that extra energy once you have buy-in with the workout. Look over this site and if “no equipment” pertains to you, I suggest you save this site.

As you continue on with off season training, follow this weekly plan of strength train 2 days/week, plyometrics 1-2 days/week and the sprint workout (also in the documents section) 2 days/week.

Finally, continue to see the daily updated “Senior Tributes” on our Teampages website. I have highlighted Ben, Mitchell, Tricia, and Daniel so far. There are 9 senior athletes left to showcase over the next week or so.

Daniel, you are an all around track and field athlete. The pole vault may define you to others, but I think about all the events you have done over the years and you have probably competed in close to half of them. What I appreciate most about you is your positive attitude! You always seemed to be in a good mood when at track meets or practices. That is a contagious attribute and I’m sure you will continue to spread that to future teammates and coaches. Go Johnnies!
