A few questions for our followers: * Do you love track and field? * Do you own a high-quality camera & sports lens? * Do you have basic photo editing and Facebook skills? * Do you want to help us shine a light on these sports? We're looking to grow our all-volunteer Nerd team. The only pay is a lousy Nerd t-shirt but you will make a huge difference to the athletes in your area. You can check out our Nerd roster at preprunningnerd.com/about. We're looking for folks to add to our existing team of 30 Nerds.

Wow: Deion Sanders says that certain players are chasing money in the Portal and are jeopardizing their futures. ​"I've never chased money in my life. I've chased greatness. And guess what came with greatness? The money" Coach Prime is speaking facts 👏

Registration is now open for the Sandhills Marathon to be held on Saturday, June 6. Held just south of Valentine, we wrote about this unique marathon and half-marathon after the 2024 event: preprunningnerd.com/post/san… Here is the registration link: runsignup.com/Race/Events/NE…

Deion Sanders shares what's wrong with most athletes today. "That's what's wrong with most of our athletes today: We don't practice to be great...We practice to practice." "I practiced to be the best ever." Success starts with your preparation. It means being intentional about how you practice. Not just showing up - but showing up with purpose. Anyone can go through the motions. But to be great, you have to practice like it matters. (🎥@DeionSanders)
