Track & Field

    Track And Field is one of the most important sports because it more closely resembles life then any other. All sports are important in teaching you teamwork and responsibility but track takes it one step further. It touches on more of the important educational and employable skills then any other sport. In life you have to do the best at your own thing while making sure that it is healthy in serving the team or business as a whole. You do your part whether it be your report for the boss or doing your function on the assembly line you must do your piece to the best of your ability for the company to succeed. When everyone dose their own little portion of the whole puzzle then you will get the expected result.

    In track it is true you are doing your event on your own and no one can help you during it, however the more help you get from your coach and team in training the better prepared you are to succeed. You must give and take in preparation, teach what you know and take in what others teach. You must learn your skill and become the best you can be and share your knowledge with others on the team that require the same skills. Track also uses many other skills that other sports also do such as responsibility and time management. You must be responsible enough to get yourself to all the practices and not be late and let other things get in the way. Time management is important before you even step on the track and even more so once you get there. Life goes on while you do sports and you must keep up with both. School and a possible job along with practice all need to be managed well so that you don�t miss any. Then once you get to practice you often do more then one event and must manage your time to work on all your events so that you become the best that you can at each individually and them all as a whole.

    Track and Field is one of the most important learning experiences offered to you and it is a great benefit to anyone who chooses to make use of it.
