~:[CH12 - Day 63]:~ Development
District is always so early in the year. It's tough because we normally have a lot of athletes still learning how to approach their events and some who only have been doing their events for a few days. I encourage all the athletes to come to this event, but at the same time, don't stress over winning or losing at this meet. Don't get me wrong, I want to give our team the best chance to win (hence emphasizing the importance of them being there), but at the same time, know that this is just the beginning of a long season. It's great if someone can come out and do well, but unless there is some development through the year, I haven't done my work as a coach. I am hoping that by season's end, each of these athletes end up better than when they started this year and that will be the true victory we aim for each and every season. In the end, that development also puts us in prime position to succeed as a team, thus it ends up being a win-win.
