Competing when you are in the race or have a shot is easy. Being a true competitor is being able to put out the same effort even when you are losing, and there's little hope of a victory.

Five ways to be a good teammate: 1. Play unselfishly. 2. Put the team first. 3. Do your job as best as you can. 4. Lead and support your teammates. 5. Be a true friend off the field.

Ryan has been helping me with practices once a week. He's been a pretty good assistant besides the potty training issues...

For HS kids going through the recruiting process, one of the best things you can do is go to a game or meet... And watch the sidelines. See how a coach interacts with the athletes after a race. Do they support the athletes, even when they fail? Are they getting coached up?
