I came across this video today as I wondered what are some things that we as a "team" can focus on in our final preparation for the upcoming post-season. Coach Newton has been coaching HS XC for over 50+ years and is a role model to myself and many others within the running world.
During his speech, Coach Newton talks about 3 things athletes & coaches need to ask each other to be a successful "team". They are:
- Can you trust me?
- Are you committed to excellence?
- Do you care about me?
(Coach Newton discusses these 3 questions from 13:01 - 14:41 in the video.)
I believe Coach Newton is brilliant. It's all about team. Team is everything in our sport and if we can all ask ourselves these questions and all say yes, I think we may be on to something!
