Participating in Other Sports
Student athletes are encouraged to participate in multiple sports. Cross country takes place during football and volleyball season. There are no conflicts with football or volleyball, and every year there are athletes who participate in both. Communication with both coaches is important to being successful in multiple sports.
For participation in non-school sports and activities, communication with the coach about conflicts is crucial. School sports are the priority.
Program Goals
Program Goals
- Build and maintain a respectable, knowledgeable program that kids want to be part of.
- Teach a rich hard work ethic, mental toughness, respect for yourself, teammates, and competitors.
- Expand knowledge of the sport throughout the school & build school pride.
- Win District Championship (All 4 Divisions)
Team/Individual Goals
- Build mental toughness and perseverance.
- Be the best teammate possible.
- Encourage others to do their very best.
- Give 100% in practice every day.
- Better your PR and/or team score every race.
Pointers for Parents
- Know what motivates your child.
- How much is he/she inspired by competitive success versus other motives such as health reasons or spending time with teammates? When you truly know what motivates your child, you can tailor your support for the best possible outcomes, mentally & physically.
- Encourage goal setting.
- Goals should be specific, measurable, and challenging but achievable through smart & demanding training.
- Be a role model for mental fitness.
- Display willpower and dedication in everyday life.
- When you fail to achieve a goal, demonstrate self-confidence & a strong commitment to working harder & smarter to achieve them.
- Push ’em to safe limits.
- Pushing your child to their “safe” limits will build mental and physical strength.
- Praise processes and products
- Praising a young athletes’ work processes & products rather than the athletes themselves will have far more impact on that athlete.
