A few years ago, I tracked improvement rates of my college runners and compared it to a whole slew of factors to see if anything correlated.
The most important factor? Did they show up to practice.
Those who missed the fewest days tended to improve the most.
Struggling to transition from HS to college is often discussed in terms of training.
But the biggest factor is the change in motivation. To succeed in college you need to be more driven from within. In HS, external motivators (coach/parent, friends, etc.) are easier.
