Mar 1-6

The season has started of very well. We keep growing our numbers and a lot of new faces are coming out. Thanks so much for all the help at the youth meet on Thursday. The kids had a great time, and the meet went really well. And... we raised over $700 for Boston! These next couple announcements have been here for a few weeks, but we are still missing a lot of people doing them. So PLEASE TAKE CARE OF YOUR REGISTRATION, YOUR FEES, AND YOUR PARENT-ATHLETE MEETING SLIDES.

Those who haven't done the parent-athlete meeting (parents and athletes) need to please check out our Parent-Athlete Meeting slides. (This takes place of our having an in-person meeting, so please do it.)

Participation Fee/Register My Athlete/Physical: This must be done in the next couple weeks or you won't be allowed to participate with the team any more! Registermyathlete is super easy and only takes a few minutes to do if you have your physical on file. If you don't have a physical from this year yet, you can still do the registermyathlete just also get your physical scheduled and taken care of ASAP. If you participated in track last year and haven't transferred your fees to another sport (like track last year to XC this year), you will be able to do that for this coming track season (track last year to track this year).

Thought of the Week: "Sleep is an investment in the energy you need to be effective tomorrow."

-Tom Roth
SLEEP! Dang, it is a big deal. Try and get a few more minutes of sleep than usual each night this week. Even 10 minutes more will make a big difference.

Thought of the Week: "John Wooden didn't win his first national title until his 16th season at UCLA. Starbucks didn't reach store #5 until 13 years into its history. Sam Walton (Walmart) didn't open his 2nd store until 7 years after starting his company. Be persistent. Success takes time."

-Jon Gordon
Some of the greatest success stories of our time... And each one wasn't built in a day. There are very few overnight successes. Reaching our desired outcomes takes time and effort. The word "persistent" is a very powerful word that I think many of us fail to truly understand. What is persistence? If I work hard for a few weeks is that persistence? Should I see results in a year, two years? I think of persistence as the continued existence of something no matter the time or obstacle. And by celebrating growth along the way, we find a desire to want to persist more and for longer and through greater trials. As we start this season, no doubt each of us will face times when our persistence is tried... maybe it is a lack of progress in our event, or possibly a friend asking us to go somewhere when we should be at practice, or whatever else. A persistent attitude is a winning attitude that will overcome these obstacles through a desire to continue to grow along the journey.

Thought of the Week: "Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds that you plant."

-Robert Louis Stevenson
We are planting seeds... Every day the things we do are the seeds we plant for a harvest to come. As we start up a new season, this idea means a lot. As a team (and individually), we have great opportunities this season. We can win titles, set new records, achieve personal records, create new and lasting friendships, set lifelong habits, and so much more. Each one of these ideas is started and built by the work you do each day. So as we start a new season this week, think of all the great things you would like to do and that you would like to help the team accomplish, and know that the work that is done now is the planting of the seeds that will grow into the accomplished harvest.

Feb. 8-13 One More Week Until the Season!

Final week of conditioning and then the real deal! It's been a long time since the shut-down last spring closed up our track season, and we are very excited for a new season to begin. Much of the info this week is the same as last week, but most of us still need to do it. So please look it over and complete what you need to to be ready for the season to start. And also, thanks for everyone helping out with the Root Beer Mile. We raised over $3000 for Boston!

Everyone (parents and athletes) need to check out our Parent-Athlete Meeting slides. (This takes place of our having an in-person meeting, so please check it out.)

Thought of the Week: "You don't have to be good to start, you just have to start to be good."

-Joe Sabah
It's time to start! Let's get a whole crew out for the season. One of the great things about track and field is that their is something for everyone - and you don't have to be good at it to start. Everyone grab a friend and bring them out and let's get them started.
