Met the most amazing team this past week at Worlds.They didn’t win their division, come in 2nd…. they didn’t even make 3rd. They did Hit Zero in finals & made Top 10. You would’ve thought they hit Grands!!! The pure joy of the sport was so much more than I can express
If winning is all you care about, you’re more likely to give up when winning doesn’t seem possible. You’re also more likely to choke under pressure and avoid challenges. This is why you should always maintain your love for the game and not become too obsessed with winning.
Six of the biggest regrets athletes have later in life:
1. Not giving their best effort.
2. Not taking enough risks.
3. Not putting their team first.
4. Not enjoying the moment.
5. Not prioritizing their physical and mental health.
6. Not spending enough time with family.
As a coach, make sure to emphasize the importance of sportsmanship and integrity. Teach your players to play the game the right way, even if it sometimes hurts your team’s chances of winning.
Often, your biggest enemy on the field is yourself. Once you get out of your own head, you can let your instincts take over and play up to your potential.

🚨SCENARIO🚨
Curious to see how people would make a 4x1 line up with these athletes (all hypothetical made up)
A - 11.43 (good 400 runner)
B - 11.9 (great start, horrible finish)
C - 10.82 (all around sprinter)
D - 10.96 (poor starter, great top end)
Plug away!
