Dedication

Today is the first official day of CHS Winter Track!  The previous few weeks were experimental weeks, designed to ease athletes back into their training, while still giving them time to fully heal up from the fall season.  These first few weeks also allowed the coaches to figure out what works, how to make it efficient, and what should be changed or modified.


But, today, Nov. 26th, is the day when the “rubber meets the road” and everything we do is designed to accomplish one goal.  That goal is to be as fast and as strong as possible the first two weeks of May.  Every long run, every weight lifting session, every technique lecture, is pointing towards that goal.  I know I have said this every year, but all of the work-outs are equally important, they are all designed to fit together and allow you to reach your true potential.


Dedication is going to be the key to the success this year.  This team has a unique opportunity, and it would be a waste to not take advantage of this opportunity.   All practices must be attended, 100% effort must be given at practice, and you must prepare for these practices wholeheartedly.  Nothing less than your absolute best, if you remember that, then you will have taken advantage of this opportunity.


We have a great team this year, we ned to believe in each other, support each other, and build each other up.  Even though track is an individual sport, having a strong team around you only makes you better.  Under no circumstances will any member of this team not be given the respect they deserve.  Building your teammates up will help you more than you think.


This team is like a bunch of twigs, individually we can easily be snapped, but as a whole, we are strong and resilient.  The team is stronger than the individual, and the individual can contribute to that team by giving 100% every day.  That’s the secret to success.  We start today!
