This week has been, thus far, a really great week weather wise, which I am sure we are all thankful for. I want to urge each and every member of the track team to bring extra clothes to practice daily. That does not mean that you leave them in your car or in your gym locker, bring them to the track so that by 5:00 pm when the sun sets you can layer up and still practice.
Injuries and toughness: There is a fine line between being tough and being for lack of a better word "dumb." If you have an injury, that means it never goes away whether you are warmed up or not! I urge you to communicate with your coaches about those before they become full blown issues that needs more attention than the training staff can provide. REMEMBER we are in the first week of a 15 week season. That means there is a LONG way to go, take care of yourself now so that you can still be going strong when the big meets roll around at the end of the year.
Looking forward: There are many surprises so far this year and more new faces than I have ever seen on the CV track team. That is exciting and scary all at the same time from a coaching perspective. If you want to make yourself known and have a shot at that Varsity spot, work hard and keep a great attitude! I look forward to seeing each and everyone of you in action as the season goes on!
GO CV!
Coach Lancett
