Athletes share what makes success in track & field

To become a runner have a strong mindset, to push through overcome obstacles also on track you have to maintain of healthy diet and recover.
Also off the track, you must be a student first to be eligible to go to practice and compete at meets.

Success in track and field takes discipline, repetition, and confidence.
Motivation gets your started but discipline keeps you going- even on tough days.
A lot of the time you have to make sacrifices and remove distractions that slow your growth.
And you have to believe in yourself because if you don’t you’ve already lost.

It takes having in faith in God’s plan for you to win. Track is a very mental sport and it is easy to get in your head after having a bad performance.
However, trusting in God and His timing for myself helps me to remember that my time will come soon and that I need to be patient.
Our season is pretty long, and I would be rather be at my peak for conference in May.
I also think that being consistent with race times is better than having one good race the whole season and the rest being mediocre.

To be a winner on the track you need more than just being fast and strong.
You need have a great mental attitude, because when things aren’t going your way a strong mental fortitude can change how you act in different situations.
Either for better or for worse so being strong mentally can help you have a edge in the game.

I have strong faith in the Lord, you know. I believe that the Lord is the foundation of life and I believe that he died for my sins, so having strong faith has really helped.
Not in track, but in school, but to be a winner.
Having good faith knowing the Lord put you on this earth with the gift and you use that gift for his word.
And I really do think that the lord gave me the gift to run track well, that’s the gift he provided me.
