Pine View Invite (help):

Gatorade - we need everyone (that can) to go get Gatorade/Powerade and bring it to practice for the concession stand by Wednesday. We need 20oz bottles. You can buy these in 8 packs at most grocery stores. 

PARENT HELP - Those that shared they are willing to help, THANK YOU. Anyone that can help in the concessions, help with events and implement weigh-ins, and help with the Coaches' meals let Coach know. We will give you any training you might need and nothing will be too strenuous. Concessions sign up here (a few reached out that you could help here; you haven't been added yet, so please find a time that works for you).

Thought of the Week: "I used to go into races with 'something to prove' and I realized that, for me, it was a big insecurity issue. Now I go into races believing what I know I can be and that I can allow everyone else to shine with me."

-Nico Montanez

This is a pretty cool idea... I think often we are so worried about being the best and proving that we are so good or whatever, that those thoughts end up being a block to us doing our best. When we are able to let that type of thinking go and just focus on being our best self, trusting the hard work and training that we've done, and realizing that it's great if others do well because that helps push us even more... when we are able to have a mindset shift, we can really become better athletes and people.

Check out the spring schedule if you haven't yet.

Youth Club Info: Our MS Developmental Track and Field Clinic is going strong. This group meets Monday and Thursday at 3:00a-4:15('ish) and is open to all PV students in 6th-8th grades. We will focus on each different track and field event and give athletes an opportunity to work with the coaches of each specialty to see what our middle school athletes may want to pursue. We will meet throughout the spring and participate and host multiple track meets.
