One of the beauties of track and field is that what ever effort you put in you get out. When I first started track as a sophomore I ran a 200 time trial and it revealed that I was one of the slowest guys on the team. I wanted to be good and i was very competitive so I worked hard and by the next year I was the best distance runner in my little schools history.

Jim Ryan was the first high school runner to break the 4 minute mile. He got cut from multiple teams he tried out for. He decided to do Cross Country. He said he was one of the worst runners on his team but by the end of that Cross Country season he was one of the best his state.

Michael Jordan was cut from his sophomore basketball team. Walt Disney was told he didn't have any imagination.

The point is that to be successful in life and in track in field there are a few key component.

1. Attitude
2. Hard work
3. Consistency
4. Resilience   - Not giving up
5. Belief in yourself.

Being GREAT doesn't come overnight and only comes to those that are willing to do what it takes.

We as coaches are very excited for this season. We see a lot of young talent and a lot of kids with great attitudes.  Enjoy these moments, enjoy being part of a successful team, enjoy the relationship you will develop and enjoy the life long benefit this sport will bring.
