I'm teaching English to juniors this year. I hope they are ready to work as hard as I do. High expectations will lead to high performance, I hope.

One of the most important lessons running taught me:

How to work hard for a very long for something far in the distance.

You don’t build a great Track season in May. You build it in the cold, dark months no one sees.

Delayed gratification is one of the most transferable skills

Experiencing complicated art can make you more creative — even if you don’t enjoy it in the moment.

@ellisdrew EMBELLISHMENT. Guess that’s gonna be the game from now on. Harden, Brunson, SGA

[Eric Wilkinson @WOWilkinson]

@hansonsrun The crazy thing about Harden is everyone knows he’s flopping. The announcers talk about how he’s done this for 17 years. Why do the refs still reward it?

[Eric Wilkinson @WOWilkinson]

@ellisdrew I hate complaining about calls but that was egregious

Yes, this is a cake (baked by a brilliant student). Yes, that's a bucket of gore on the side. Yes, it was as delicious as it is spectacular!

@pntrack @stevemagness @THS_trackfield Maybe you’re joking, but it doesn’t translate to this medium

If you have to use AI to write an email, at least proofread it before sending it out

[Eric Wilkinson @WOWilkinson]

@OmarKelly Good idea to take care of yourself. Sorry you had a bad experience today

[Eric Wilkinson @WOWilkinson]

@k_klassen11 I can’t believe he didn’t even pull him from the game

[Eric Wilkinson @WOWilkinson]

@pntrack I agree that complaining doesn’t solve things, but I don’t agree that leaders should shut down conversations about problems. Sometimes, the team can solve something the individual can’t.
