Sundara Weber with an amazing 3rd Place finish at the 2A IHSA XC Final!! Ran 16:40 for the new school record!!!! Proud of this young lady!! Hard work, dedicated, passionate for competition!!
Derek Jeter’s first contract was worth $0.
It was a contract with his parents.
He signed it every year as a kid.
Before each school year, his parents would outline their expectations.
They’d put them in a contract with clauses such as:
• No drugs
• No alcohol
• No arguing
• Respect girls
• Meet curfew
And Derek would have to sign it.
If he violated the contract, there’d be no baseball.
Jeter would go on to become a New York Yankees legend and a MLB Hall of Famer.
These contracts are how it started.

Lesson 1: Success isn’t an accident
As a kid, Jeter didn’t understand the contracts.
They were a hokey thing his parents did.
But over time, he saw the intention behind them.
“It built the framework for success,” he said.
He learned that successful people aren’t that way on accident.
Lesson 2: Accountability is nurtured
Everyone would agree accountability is essential.
But you’re not just born with it.
It’s a character trait that’s taught and nurtured.
This was the primary purpose of the contracts, Jeter said.
Accountable people become successful people.
Lesson 3: Stay grounded
Jeter quickly blossomed in baseball.
By 18 years old, he was one of the best prospects in the country.
The Yankees drafted him No. 6 overall in the 1992 draft.
But his parents didn’t let that get to him. Even as a high school senior, he had to obey the contract or he wouldn’t play.
“It taught us to stay grounded,” Jeter said.

3 timeless lessons:
• Build a framework for success
• Hold yourself accountable to it
• And stay grounded
They apply to everything.

"You earn a spot on the team...after you earn an opportunity to play.
You earn it.
You don't deserve it.
Huge distinction between the two."@ReformedSptProj
A very unique format! Staggered start. Anything but a baton. Vintage uniforms. Mixed duos. Great competition & camaraderie. A traveling trophy, sandwiches & skins for the winning team. And most importantly, a great mile repeat workout! Always fun with @SandwichTrack
The last few minutes of a race are going to hurt, yes?
In your next hard workout, be willing to hurt so that you're mentally prepared when the same thing happens in the race.
Too often, athletes don't see workouts as a chance to improve mentally. Don't let that be you.
