Training Plan week of April 13th

You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, ‘I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.’ You must do the thing you think you cannot do.”

Thank you Eleanor for saying this so well.

This is what I want to do with this team. To help you all find your new limits.

If I do not help you find that new limit, then I am just a baby sitter. I don’t want to be a babysitter.

I want to be a coach, coaching a group of youth who are not scared to face their fears. A group of youth who find their courage to challenge themselves.

If I only let you do what you want to do and never what scares you, or what you think is hard, then I am not doing my job.

I do not want to be a baby sitter, I want to be a coach.

On another note:

Thank you to all of you who raced the crit this weekend. We brought home  4 state championships and 5 podiums.

Ana 13-14 state champ

Zayk 10-12 State Champ

Madison 15-16 state champ

Genea 17-18 state Champ.
