in meets by coach mike on 28 Oct 2007
Tough day! I was surprised, I’m still looking for answers. I think our little meeting was good, I could see the real hurt in your eyes. You thought you had worked hard this pass season, I agree, you probably worked as hard as any group I have coached. Guess what? We are going to have to work harder next year if we are going to get to the next level. More distance, more speed, more stress in practice. We have a great group coming back, but we need more people.
The most important feeling you should walk away with from yesterday is that of hunger, of a job not finished! But also with the thought that almost all of you will be back next year, with the idea of what it might take to get to the next level! Your season was good, most teams would be happy with it, I know you guys aren’t, that you want more! Nothing is stopping you from getting what you want, except hard work.
Drew-thanks for 4 good years of cross country- you have been a lot of fun- and a good leader, hard worker.
