Thought of the Week: "Strength and growth come only through continuous effort and struggle." -Napoleon Hill.
We are at the most important part of our season for your growth. Hopefully you are in pretty good shape now, so the next few weeks are when you should really start to see some improvement and development. But to do this, you must (like the quote says) continually give effort and push through the struggle. All growth in life comes from how we act during times of struggle. For us, in track and field, that struggle might be during the middle of a hard workout, getting in those few extra throws, watching video on your jumps and analyzing form strength and weaknesses. No matter what it is, you must put in the effort to see the big growth that we all want. And now is the time to put the big effort in, not in a month when you really wish you were hitting a PR or Herriman Qualifier or State Qualifier.
