Parents, if you haven't been told about today's practice let me fill you in. It was brought to my attention by Coach Barret that we had some of our athletes say some non-vulgar but mean things to a group of elementary school children in the after school program at Glenn Duncan. Not only did that happen, we also had an issue with athletes running off and not helping clean our camp area at the meet this past friday. For those reasons we had a intense workout today that should have the kids pretty pooped or hating me a bit. I informed all the athletes that if we continue having problems with behavior, not listening, and respect issues the season will end and we won't go to the meet Friday. I personally believe each and everyone of our kids on the roster are phenomenal young people and it truly pains me to hear about any issues in and out of school. I really hope today will be the last day we will have these issues because myself and the rest of the coaching staff and I'm sure you parents want to see this season finished strong and not cut short because of bad behavior. That being said ATHLETES you need to bring water to practice it's going to be hot all week so bring plenty of water. Young ladies need to wear running appropriate shorts meaning actual shorts not short shorts (with the exception of our uniform shorts those are okay to wear). Athletes should not be on the phone during practice and not distracting other athletes during practice. There is a time and place for that but not when we are on the field training. USE THE BATHROOM BEFORE PRACTICE! I have said that too many times now guys. Now if you drank a lot of water during practice that's fine we will take you but not as soon as we get to traner. I've noticed that most of you that go don't use the restroom but just stand and talk and that's not acceptable guys. We need to utilize the short time we have to practice to become better athletes. I really and deeply care about each and everyone of you kids and I ment what I said earlier about considering you amazing! Be the awesome young people I know you all are. Let's enjoy our last week of practice and have a great Meet Friday you guys! Have a good night! Any problems or questions please contact me or message below.
