Coach Jeremy's Notes to Team
Storm Team,
What a great start to the season! I am super excited with how all the athletes are getting in a groove and all the parents are supporting and helping out. It certainly makes our job as coaches easier when parents are there at all practices to do whatever is needed to help! So Thank YOU!
We had a great form clinic at Saturdays practice! One of the greatest joys of coaching is teaching athletes what it takes to Own The Sport for themselves. That doesn’t mean they never need coaches, but it means they know what it takes to be a great runner. The coaches and I will continue reminding the athletes about different aspects of great running form throughout the season.
This week is typically a pretty tough one so please help to be a BIG encouragement to your kids. It is tough because physically their bodies will be challenged with soreness, a little more pain, and the biggest negative is just simply being more tired. You can help by ensuring they are eating healthy and enough food. Getting them to bed at a decent time, I used to like the 9:30 mark for my kids. And, if they are a little sore, I’ll be encouraging them to roll out their legs and stretch a little extra at home and before they come to practice.
As we dive into this week we can expect another hot Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday nights.
Much of the same as we continue to build through this first 3 week phase.
Again help me by encouraging your kids and we will have an amazing week!
This Saturday we will be doing a 2K (1.2mile) time trial, for all the athletes. This is a great way to see the progress of the athletes and make sure they are running in the correct group as we set their practice pace and distance.
Thank you and I’ll see you out there!
Coach Jeremy
