Track

Have you ever joined a sport thinking that it was a team sport and found otherwise? At the beginning of my freshman year I couldn’t wait to play football, but my real love was track and field. I expected for everyone to be excited when the track season started. They were, but for a different reason, it was rest time for them. No one in my high school took track seriously my senior year and I took it for granted. Then college came. Yes I played football as well I am competing in track, but the atmosphere is completely different. The track team is about the TEAM, not individuals, and everyone on the team cares about the team. I was expecting no one to really care about track and field because from what I heard this college was a football school. And I just figured that since this school was so small it would not care about track but I think I have seen more people at track meets than at football games. But that was not the case.

My first year in high school track was an exciting year, in the beginning. I remember talking to other teammates and they seemed excited. That made me even more excited because I did really well in Junior High. I was told that track at my school was just as big as football and


practices were really unorganized. A lot of that was the coach’s fault and I came to the conclusion that he really didn’t care that much about track because he was the head football

throwing. We also go and cheer on our other teammates and when other people aren’t running they come and watch the field events and help keep each other’s heads up. At the next meet about everyone were warming up and the competition was really good and it has been ever since.

At the first practice we stretched and ran as a team. I now know why the players were not excited that much because warm-ups were really hard and tiring. A lot of things were different from high school. We do about a thirty minute warm-up that involve a lot of stretching and some sprint development. After all the sprint development and stretching we had a team meeting and coach Haines gave us our workouts and let us go. Then the throwers have their own workout so we do our own thing. But everyone does what he or she is supposed to do and then some. Many days after practice since the throwers always go late so I see a lot of people after practice doing extra work.

in a big group and start chanting and clapping. Then everyone get quiet and the seniors talk to the whole team. This is really cool it shows team unity and you need that as a team. Finally, just

My second year of track I was injured so I didn’t get to compete but I still went to practice and worked out and trained. I watched a lot of practice and it was the same thing people messing around and not getting anything done. I ended up going to some of our home meets to help out. I talked to some of the other competitors while I was working and they had really bad attitudes but some of them were from really good teams, yes teams. The ones on the good teams I talked to more and asked them about their workouts and their coach and they nothing but good things to say about but good things, everyone got along and worked together. So I came to the conclusion that a lot of the teams were the same as the team that I was on well if you want to call it a team. My junior year of track was the best.
