I know Track just finished but I am SO excited for XC already... I have big expectations and plans for our entire team this summer and year. I have been working with a few big coaches and developing a plan for our Summer training as well as preparing our season schedule. I will post that as soon as I have the region meets and invitationals finalized.
I have been trying to work out our own team Track Camp but am waiting for approval. If we can't go up and camp for a night then we might just meet for a couple days in a row and drive up to some mountain trails/lake to put in some good mileage, hill training, build team unity, and have some fun!
I was just informed yesterday by our AD Mikesell that he hired Coach Weir as an asst coach for XC and he also will have Coach Ryan Miller possibly help out here and there. Coach Miller was at Morgan 5 years ago and will most likely be helping here and there with both XC and Track. He is a phenomenal coach!! I'm excited that administration is recognizing our success and growth and bringing on great coaches to help me as we continue to build a successful program!
I will be posting regularly (at least weekly) with a schedule for each week, PLEASE try and make the days when coaches will be up. Again I have talked/planned with Timo, American Forks coach, who has hands down the most successful XC program in the state and whose team just took 2nd at the National Championships... He has given me ideas, workouts, and programs that if we follow and if you get HUNGRY, we can go compete not only for Region Championships but State Championships.. But as you all know, summer training is hard and easy to miss or get lazy. Decide now what you want for yourself for this next season and do whatever you can to stick to our program and I promise you'll find success!! His biggest advice to me as we talked was to make sure you run EVERY day!!
I will be posting in the next week with our first summer team practice information but in the mean time to try and drive your HUNGER for XC watch this video I came across last night:
