@Siemers_XC_TF @Head_TompkinsCC That sucks…We run at 10:00 and the heat/humidity is still ridiculous even at that hour…I wish we could go at 8:00pm. But, we don’t want to be out late

[david wright @ALdavid_wright]

@Sofia1989717 @realDonaldTrump Amen

[david wright @ALdavid_wright]

@realDonaldTrump as a teacher, I spend countless hours outside of class working on lesson plans, communicating with students/parents, teacher development, etc. and all this time is “overtime”…Would you please consider finding a no tax on teacher overtime? We are a service ind. 2

[david wright @ALdavid_wright]

@realDonaldTrump … OR make my health insurance premiums/costs 100% tax deductible…That could also help my bottom line and make life more affordable

[david wright @ALdavid_wright]

@HustleBitch_ And you haven’t paid the $1200 per month in homeowners insurance

@CoachDistance Having peak races at the beginning of April provides confidence for the championship races at the end of April into May

[david wright @ALdavid_wright]

@pntrack Why don’t you start exposing football coaches that won’t let their kids run track because they have to be in the weight room and barrels working on steps

[david wright @ALdavid_wright]

@realDonaldTrump I would like to keep drug prices still in the forefront of your admin. My wife has eczema & was given a sample of rinvoq…The medicine cleared her up & was the first time she had relief in 50 years…We go to fill the prescription and it costs $6k. We need help.

Are you kidding me?!?!!!!! I just saw it…@USC_Track_Field Garrett Kaalund 19.95 American Record and .03 off the world record…SC speed is back. Fight on!!! ✌️

[david wright @ALdavid_wright]

It was hot out there and my girl was running by herself for the last 1K…All that being said, 11:52 in the 3200M. Not bad for our first true test of the season

[david wright @ALdavid_wright]

@CoachJTAyers Amen…And 9.88 makes for good track …Translates to 9.58 legal wind…Texas speed is different

[david wright @ALdavid_wright]

@CoachCrumpton That guy’s hired for my squad no matter the weather conditions

[david wright @ALdavid_wright]

@BamaCoachWiley @AngryHalfMiler What would be really nice is to have a nice graphic of recruiting standards / scholarship standards for Alabama…I’m a XC/track HC at STM in Fairhope. I know the D1 standards. But, I sometimes have that don’t believe me when I tell them the standard

[david wright @ALdavid_wright]

@830finestt Part time coaches promote the select sport mentality and not a school sport mentality…I was a UIL coach and now I’m in Alabama where part time coaches are the norm. Part time coaches make HS athletics the same as the YMCA

[david wright @ALdavid_wright]

I’d love to get some feedback from my coaching colleagues…I’m at a school that doesn’t have a competitive culture. I’ve got kids that won’t come out to track because “I’ll get my doors blown off.” Any ideas to change the mindset and get kids out?

[david wright @ALdavid_wright]

@CoachJTAyers @emmaa_ortiz Big fan of the 350 workout challenge…I also like the 50 second run and put cones on the track for an acceptable distance range…Guys love to get all the way around the track. Girls love to make it past 300m

[david wright @ALdavid_wright]

I know 100’s of coaches that need to hear this message…I’ve never seen anything to amount to a bunch of football coaches that won’t push their kids to run track. Instead they push 7v7…Instagram football/underwear football

[Travis Nolting @Wishbone_Hero]

If a coach is telling you to sport specialize they do not have your best interests in mind. You will never convince me otherwise…There is a ton of development that comes with being a multiple sport athlete that translates to the other sports you do!

[david wright @ALdavid_wright]

@CoachFortney Lots of whaling and moaning and gnashing of teeth…Bwahahaaaaa

[david wright @ALdavid_wright]

@CoachFortney Another one of my favorite workouts is the broken 500M …. 300M at 45 sec…30 sec recovery …. Then all out 200M … walk the track recovery and then do it again

[david wright @ALdavid_wright]

@mpj_btc I only have empathy for you…I live in a small town in South Alabama and it kills me that people want to prevent kids from training…I guess they would rather have kids be hooligans…Plus, I hate the overzealous Chads and Karens. I wish they would stay in their own lane
