I can say that it is with great excitement that 2010 Track & Field Season has started!! I created this blog so that you (and your parents/guardians) can stay in the know with everything that happens regarding the Little Flower Track & Field Program.
I need you to check the site daily so that you can see the updated notes and or practice schedules and happenings. I will be posting LF Track/Field Homework Assignments, motivational videos, mental success tips, healthy/performance fueling nutritional suggestions as well as workouts for the day, so you know what your group (sprints, distance, fields) did if you happen to miss a practice and I EXPECT you to complete it the best way you can so you and the team don't suffer from lack of preparedness and sport specific fitness.
This is also a good spot to post the questions YOU may have as far as nutrition, injury treatment prevention, equipment recommendation questions and even for letting me know you may not be at practice (this allows me to keep better track as it will automatically be saved when you comment/post it.
Like I said check the blog DAILY especially when you miss practice to stay informed (i'm sure the majority of you can check it on your cell phones so NO excuses).
Lastly, here is your first LF Track/Field Homework Assignment.... many of you have different reasons as to why you joined the Track/Field Team and I want to know why and what goals do you want to accomplish (be apart of a sport team, set a school record, make it to the State Championship, make it on "A" Team relays, get in shape etc). Please post/comment your name (first and last, nickname (that I know), the reason you came out for track and 3 goals you want/expect to accomplish during the season.
Hope to hear from you all and see you at practice!
