SP TRACK & FIELD

hihi, tis is a msg to everyone of u from our ex coach..

SP track,I'm very grad to see you guys are bonded so tight. That's the true spirit as a track member. Many of you are in the lost, wonder where to go, what to do and how to train.Your new coach is a good coach, a experience one with lots of international experience behind him. I think he is right to form the relay teams, because you all are from SP Track. When come to IVP, do you want it to come as last team? So, he place team before individual. I know many were asked to do a different event, some were not mention like jumps and throws. Give him some time, afterall he just came for his second training session with you. As a track n field athlete, you shouldn't block yourself for just 1 or 2 events that you like, try out other events and know them too, at least when come to competition or meet other track and field members, you know their events also. Please don't 'fence-up' yourself within your zone.Liu Xiang from China started off as a jumper until his recent coach spotted him to do hurdles. If during that time, he refused to change event, he might not be who he is now. Everyone in SP track still young, try out and have the feel of other events, you may not know when you are the next Liu Xiang. Accept changes and try first, if cannot, then return to your event.As an athlete, we learn about living with life; focus, attitude, goal setting, emotion control, discipline, etc. Then again, we learn to follow instructions also. As a good athlete, obey what the coach says and don't doubt with him too early. Try first, if wrong or doesn't work then discuss feedback to him.All i can say is, enjoy your stay in SP track or running. This is a sports, a passion and a dream. Please don't make it so complicate. Keep up with your bonding, help each other and support everyone along the way."We might not able to beat the Olympic Champions BUT we will beat our ownself one day if we keep on training and strive hard toward our DREAMS!"
