Allendale TEAM State Champions/ Individual All State-Goal Accomplished. More impressive for me was watching Kilian work through adversity. Ankle surgery slowed him down. Determination/Hardwork/Belief. Things that will take him farther than recent accomplishments. PROUD!!!

It's World Mental Health Day! 🌍💜
It’s a day to talk about mental health and show everyone that mental health matters.
We all deserve good mental health. 💜

incidentally, the number for Northville's 13-point win over Brighton at MIS last year is just 7 seconds, with (no surprise) the Mustangs' 4th and 5th closing hard to make most of the difference. Northville's the best in the state at this, and it's (part of) why they keep winning.

A fun look at how variance can affect a race that may not have appeared *that* close: you can shift the ten Jenison/Northville scorers at Portage by just 13.2 seconds, and you fully erase the Mustangs' 23-point win. This is why the last 200m at MIS matter so much in the mid-pack!

Please don’t chase times. Cross-Country is scored by places not times.

Common Sense Coaching lesson #1:
High School Track is not travel baseball.
You shouldn't run 4 meets in a week.
You shouldn't schedule the maximum number of meets in a season.
Your goal is to peak at the end of the season when it counts.
There's no moral victory for winning dual meets in March.

The best coaches in the country are looking at athletes' body language as they arrive at practice.
Many of the elite programs will move a workout back a day when kids look tired...and this decision is made before the workout starts.
What a powerful skill to develop.

I strongly believe that going out hard and fading in a workout is excellent practice for going out hard and fading in a race.
Practice how you hope to race.

Do you know what All Conference, All Region, All State, and All American have in common?
All are decided by place not time. A stop watch was not needed for any of them.
Learn to race for place.

There’s two types of XC athletes:
1. Those who think bad weather is a net positive and will help them displace athletes who are fitter than them but have poor attitudes.
2. Those with poor attitudes.
Which one are you?
