~:[CH12 - Day 293]:~ In Harmony
We hosted another XC Halloween night as we gathered together for our annual movie plus food, games and more. This year, a few members of the team brought their karaoke machines which made for some loud, but good fun. It was great to see groups of people sing together in harmony as these are the types of things that bring a team together. I've always said that a program is better than a team, as you can have fast runners who do well, but when you have a larger group of people, there is the opportunity for mentorship, growth, learning and of course moments like tonight. It's not always about the quality of the athletes that you get, but how you develop them and as much as it seems like a team night is not part of getting better, it pays dividends in helping your team. These are the moments that help get them to go to battle for one another when the time comes for competition and it was great to see how much more in harmony they are now, than they were when the season began.
