When you get to the game everybody wants to win…. If you you have a great sense of purpose, you usually create pretty good habits to do it because it’s important to you. Nick Sagan post game interview. Talking mental skills! Listen ⬇️

Cut school days in half. Provide required work each day for exchange of time to be completed daily. Start Athletics earlier. Get kids home earlier or start school day later. Allow work part time during non school hours for students not in activity’s. We have to rethink Education

In Track and Field…. It’s true that drugs are performance enhancing. But everyone has access to those. The real performance enhancer is sponsorship in which you never have to work 2 jobs, you know when you’re next meal is going to be, and you have somewhere to train.

College Track and Field Coaches. Please stop recruiting kids which you cannot or will not coach in technical events. It’s not fair to kids. You’re doing everyone a disservice. Crushing kids in prime time for development. Recruit what you can coach or stop recruiting it....

Does anyone else think athletes are busier and stressed physiologically more in the summers? Is it fair to think of it as an offseason if athletes are practicing multiple sports, playing multiple games a week/weekends, and working a full time job? School year is more predictable!
