Track and Field is a sport where Milliseconds and Inches can make the difference between making a final and not making a final, being a medalist and not being a medalist, getting a $1,000 check or a $10,000 check. The smallest things matter the most.

Proud of my girls!!!
We sometimes finish our days with our hurdle warmup with a little resistance.
Positioning wise, I like the chest slightly in front of the hips. The band over the head forces this position while also forcing them to keep their core engaged.

Love it when coaches talk about their athletes like they were sons or daughters. Love it when you see a coach’s eyes sparkle or tear up when they think about their athletes.
Love is present on all great teams. Coach with intention and passion!
