Annual reminder: if you don’t intend to have an athlete or a relay compete at Divisionals, please courtesy scratch them so someone else gets that chance to compete!

@CoachWhitman @SprintersCompen @Olympics Too many egos to be successful. Both coaches and athletes.

[Matt Wilson @_CoachWilson]

@CoachWhitman @SprintersCompen @Olympics I think they audibled the lineup without Lyles. 3 exchanges that weren't what they drilled. I think the plan was Coleman/Kerley/Bednarek/Lyles, which left us with zero practiced exchanges.

@MikeCunningham Ask questions beyond their times and their GPA. You know who else is stripped of a name and replaced by a number? Prisoners. Give me the 13.4 100m girl with a young training age and tireless work ethic vs the 12.7 100m girl that “does it to stay in shape” and skips workout.

@CoachRudy123 @MikeCunningham I want to confirm I see this a lot at the smaller schools in the northeast. Mass sent to the office at the school, 6-10 kids called down at a time when they come in to receive the same general letter. The success rate of these non-personal letters has to be bad

@CoachJTAyers Then make it accessible to the east coast with videos :)

He says football. But this is anything. Those that do what others won’t achieve what others won’t. Track, football, bocce, school, anything. Consistent and determined.

Wow! Tom Brady may have just delivered the greatest quote I’ve ever heard.

“To be successful at anything, the truth is you don’t have to be special. You just have to be what most people aren’t: consistent, determined and willing to work for it.”

@LenHarmon @SHRamsAthletics @shephillxctrack Great graphic work!

[Matt Wilson @_CoachWilson]

Wooo! Huge congrats to our friends at Nashoba. Awesome work to athletes and coaches alike!

[Coach Ben Langelo @CoachBenLangelo]

What a day! Nashoba Girls Track are your MIAA D3 Runners-Up! #aaroooooo 🐺

[Matt Wilson @_CoachWilson]

@WRR1980 @CoachDJBrock But you're a fool if you think parents don't believe what club/private coaches sell them. Athletes/PARENTS are always looking for the next best thing.

"The only way to get faster is by running faster"

Does speed matter in your sport? Spoiler - it does. Come do track!

Don't use his QR code though, that's for Nashoba.

[Coach Ben Langelo @CoachBenLangelo]

The only way to get faster is by running faster.

Not by playing more soccer, lacrosse, whatever.

If you truly want to run faster, join the winter team that will specifically train you to get faster - sign up for indoor track today! Season starts Nov. 27! #aaroooooo 🐺

@MrsRachelAndres @MikeCunningham Competition requires blocks? That feels silly.

Almost as silly as NBIN requiring athletes to NOT use blocks in some races last year

[Matt Wilson @_CoachWilson]

@MikeCunningham Absolutely agreed.

[Matt Wilson @_CoachWilson]

@bjorkman_samuel @CoachJTAyers You didn't ask me but 45 seconds is one of my staples so I'll offer my take. We do the workout once, mayyybe twice, a season, but we do 2x45 seconds, rest 12 minutes, then come get it again. Measure how far we get rep 1, try to be within 5m on rep two. Big confidence builder.

[Matt Wilson @_CoachWilson]

@MarlboroughTF @MikeCunningham The suspense is killing me...

[Matt Wilson @_CoachWilson]

Okay track coaches. It's time to buy a new bag for the upcoming season(s). What have you used that you love? Also feel others have this question, so going to use @MikeCunningham to get the informal question out there. Links for purchase extra appreciated!

[Steve Magness @stevemagness]

Research has found that sitting close to a high performer improved performance by 15%.

Sitting close to a low performer decreased performance by 30%.

Surround yourself with people who lift you up. https://t.co/YNjQSsILyY

[I ❤️ T&F Coaches! @MikeCunningham]

Hurdle crew! Please report to the track immediately!

[Matt Wilson @_CoachWilson]

@MikeCunningham Regular bag. Backpack. Coaching bag. :)

[Matt Wilson @_CoachWilson]

@FloTrack Cool, so nobody can go again. Smart sport.
