COACHES UPDATES
Greetings MI Track & Field!
We had a great first week of track practice with a record number of kids, over 150! Thanks to the good weather we were able to set up the high jump and pole vault mats, open up the long/triple jump pits, throw shot/disc and go over some hurdles.
Due to the SAT and other commitments, it was a small yet mighty group of athletes that turned out for yoga on Saturday. We got a good stretch and some great laughter during the partner poses. Thank you Booster Club for providing this instructor, bagels and fruit for the team.
More Important Info:
-
The Spring Sports Parent Meeting is Tuesday at 6PM. Please attend for more detailed information and Q & A.
- Set your goals! Whether you are coming out for PE credit, you want to get faster/stronger or you aspire to make the State podium, we expect the same commitment from you. Set your own goals and expectations for yourselves.
- Eat mostly whole foods (not processed), plenty of fruits and veggies, avoid caffeine.
- HYDRATE! Bring a water bottle to school and practice.
- Get solid sleep. Suggested teens get 8+ hours a night.
-
Shin splint prevention - good shoes, avoiding hard surfaces and exercises like these.
- Remind your athletes to always come to practice expecting ANY type of weather. We want arms and legs covered to protect their muscles and stay healthy!
- First meet at home is Thursday, March 20th
Attendance is a big deal!
