XC parents: your role this summer is simple but important.
Help make sure your athlete gets to practice, completes their on-your-own runs, and that running remains a priority even during vacations. Let’s be honest: most runs take less than an hour and can usually be done before the rest of the family is even ready for the day.
If you’re vacationing somewhere that isn’t safe to run outside… where exactly are you vacationing? 😄
Beyond running, parents can make a huge difference by helping athletes:
• train in relatively new running shoes
• eat mostly home-cooked meals and have a good stock of snacks
• maintain a normal sleep schedule
• actually hear that alarm in the morning
Summer isn’t a break from responsibilities. In many ways, teenagers need more structure and support during the summer than they do during the school year.
A successful fall season is built during the summer.
