Season Is ending somebody call the cops.(I just got raped for time)

The season for track and field is coming to a quick end, there is a month left in the season and everyone is trying to book their last minute tickets to nationals.  This past weekend we enjoyed a fun filled trip to Penn Relays, though we did not run our best we still feel confident that when nationals come around May 23-28 all the big races that we have been in will pay off.  

 The true focus of this last month of the year is how to stay healthy, health for any team is key to the success they want to have over the course of the year. Especially the end of the year were injuries matter the most. 

It makes it a very difficult time of year because your athletes body is beaten, mentally and physically they are not there not because they don’t want it to be but collegiate athletes at this time of year have a lot going on. How many finals they have to take, were they are going to work this summer, seniors have a bigger task because come May most of them will be graduating and moving on to bigger things. 

 Coaches have to take the necessary steps to keep all their athletes healthy, not pushing them to hard, keeping practice competitive but fun, and allowing them to focus on the things that really matter.  Studying hard for their finals, making sure they have some type of job lined up for the summer and allowing track and field to be the last thing they have to stress or worry about.

I told my team that this last month have fun with it, work hard but have fun running with your teammates we don’t want any regrets at the end of year on or off the track. Flotrack.com has a video posted on their web-site of our race at Penn Relays.
