“THE WILL TO WIN means nothing without the WILL TO PREPARE!!!” The will to win and improve is very common in athletes of all abilities. The necessary will to prepare is not as common. This preparation covers many aspects: completing the scheduled workouts, “pre-hab”, nutrition, grades, self-discipline, etc.. Let’s work hard in ALL areas of preparation that will help make you a better student/athlete and the Titans a better TEAM!
WEEK ONE A GOOD ONE
Even though the weather wasn’t too cooperative, we were still able to get a great deal accomplished with some improvised workouts. We had some very good conditioning workouts. Great job by most of you in taking every opportunity to make yourself a better track and field athlete. KEEP IT UP!! Hopefully, this week we will be able to include more technical training into our workouts while continuing to improve your overall fitness level.
WORKOUTS THIS WEEK
Monday will be a big day of various athletic challenges. Events will show your speed endurance, strength endurance, explosiveness, strength, etc. It will be a fun, competitive day.
WE WILL WORK OUT TUESDAY AT 1:00 PM. Because of ACT testing, Tuesday will not be a regular school day. However, we will still have a regular workout. We will also have practice Saturday at 9:00 am.
PARENT / ATHLETE NIGHT
Reminder: This will be held Thursday evening at 6:30 in the Auditorium. James Parker, a 9-time All-American and 2004 U.S. Olympian will be our guest speaker. EVERYONE should attend.
INTRASQUAD MEET
We will announce the TEAMS for the Intrasquad meet Tuesday. The meet will be held Friday.
UNIFORMS
The plan now is to hand out uniforms Saturday morning after a short practice. You must have all physicals and paperwork turned in, fees paid, and “U’s” cleared to receive a uniform. More information will be covered throughout the week.
ALUMNI UPDATE
Most colleges are taking a couple weeks off from any competition. However, SUU got their outdoor season underway at UNLV. Hunter Naisbitt won the discus (143'10) and placed 4th in both the shot put (45'06) and hammer (134'06). Sasha Russell ran 13.28 in the 100m dash.
