Track & Field is THE sport. Hence the reason it’s called Athletics in the Olympics. Most every other sport is a game.

TF coaches, y’all crack me up. Everyone complains when FB don’t run track. Then DK Metcalf announces intention to compete and people want to be up in their feelings acting disrespected. I hope he rolls out and it draws MORE kids to both sports. Let’s Go!

As HS coaches, we have a heart for kids with low talent who work hard. We’re perplexed by kids with big talent who don’t work hard. And we hope for the kids with lots of talent and a great work ethic.

Athletic Directors: If your HS football team is doing well, but your spring sports can barely field rosters because most of your football players are choosing to only lift rather than play a spring sport, are you really succeeding?

If you live close to your HS alma mater, I courage you to volunteer at a home Track & Field meet. It'll be good for you and the meet. If you don't live close, help the local HS or MS out. Every meet's success hinges on the help. Give back and enjoy the energy of the team!

Most track & field events are solo, so when you step up to the starting line, you control your destiny. If this terrifies you, you need track & field to learn how to execute under pressure. via

For me, it missional work. God put me where i am to serve his purposes and my pay will mostly accrue in heaven. If it weren’t for the coaches who have and continue to invest in me, I’d be dead or in prison. I owe a debt I cannot fully repay. As long as God allows, I’ll serve

Dear FB reporters, coaches, scouts reporting hand timed 40’s in the 1/100th of a second (ie 4.38): please stop. A hand time must be rounded up to nearest 1/10th (ie 4.4). Converting to equivalent auto time requires adding .24 (ie 4.64). Also, we don’t start clock on movement.

Unpopular opinion: him playing in that game at that point should have been considered malpractice on the part of the coaches and training staff. Kid gets a career ending injury in one of the myriad of pointless bowl games. Who's gonna pay their bills then?

Sprint training as in spikes on, max V, 1 minute recovery for every 10 meters sprinted. RECORD, RANK, PUBLISH.
What did it take for an offensive lineman to get drafted in the first round of the NFL Draft?
✅ 6’4” or taller
✅ 302 pounds or more
✅ 5.12 or faster in 40
Fastest: Chris Lindstrom (pic) 6’4”, 308, running 4.91.
HS O-linemen need to be sprint training 2x per week.

Coaches, just as there is no need for the designation FULL MILE (it’s either a mile or it isn’t, it is also redundant to say lifetime PR. By definition, PR is lifetime. The best mark of that year which isn’t a PR would be a SEASONAL best (SB). Carry on…🤦♂️😜🤷♂️
