ECS Track Team

This track season I have had the honor and privilege of working with nineteen gifted athletes. From the first day of tryouts they were told that once on the team they would be pushed far beyond what they believed to be their limits. Tryouts consisted of two solid hours of track drills, which were designed to test how in shape the athlete was in.

To be a member of the track team one has to be hard working, dedicated, motivated, and have self-confident. There is no glory in Track and Field, no pep rally’s, no home crowd to cheer you on. Track and Field is solely about individual talent and constantly striving to be better then the previous day. Throughout the season these athletes were tested both mentally and physically. They were challenged and asked to perform far beyond what they believed they could handle. But time and time again these athletes rose to the occasion and proved how much they wanted to be a part of the team. For most of the athletes on track team this season was one that established in their mind that they can stick with and preserver through any obstacle and that giving up is not an option.
