South Meadow Boys and Girls Cross-CountryCoaching Boys and Girls Cross-Country was the most enjoyable, fun, and rewarding coaching experience I've had to date. It was incredible to see both students endurance and passion for the sport developing with each week of training.
I was able to use my organization and management skills from teaching phys. ed. to establish expectations and develop a routine. Each day students would get ready, I would take attendance, we would recap the day prior and outline the practice ahead. Once business was squared away, all sixty student athletes would take-off on their warm-up loop consisting of a half mile run around the field. Upon their return students would work through a dynamic warm-up which had flexibility, balance, strength, and agility components. |
