High school and club coaches…for the love of God, stop telling these kids to hold out on committing to a school because you’re chasing marks and or a fake dream. Roster limits ARE REAL. You are going to screw these kids over! It’s not about YOU!!!

Let’s start treating track like a sport and not an auxiliary…. It only makes the other sports better. Successful teams in the fall usually had success during spring in track. #IJS

Attention to detail is what separates the great from the good. While most athletes ignore the small details, the best athletes leave nothing to chance when it comes to their training, preparation, and performance.

If your coach holds you accountable, you are VERY fortunate. A lot of coaches accept their players doing whatever they want, whenever they want with no consequences. Discipline/responsibility/accountability are life prep! If your coach cares that much, you’re lucky so respect it!

College Track and Field is NOT the backdoor to a football roster spot or football scholarship.
I don’t know any coach at this level that will give your T&F money so you can spend all fall training with football, run indoors, then miss some outdoor meets to may be able to have a guy come back at the end of spring ball having missed most of the practice reps.
