    Most college camps provide technical instruction and video analysis from coaches and current student-athletes that come from from both the women's and men’s and  track and field-cross country programs. The best of these camps will have college coaches coming to watch you run but make sure that you pick a sports camp that is organized by the colleges and the college coach. You will get to see what the coach is looking for and YOU WILL BE SEEN.

I get asked by student-athletes all the time, "how can I get the track-cross country coach or scout to watch me run or throw"?

Well it's a very simple answer, attend a summer sports camp at the college.

Sports camps are great fun but you need to remember this: You must be punctual and on your best behavior. Coaches want to see how you conduct yourself off the track as well.

TRACK AND FIELD TRAINING TIP

You need to include some basic circuits into you stretching program twice or three times a week usually after your easy runs. Crunches, press-ups, lower abs (very important), squats, hyperextensions. These exercises are designed to condition your body and wont build up your cardiovascular fitness. You will find that this extra strength will be a big benefit to you especially in difficult sections of a cross-country race.

Track Running by T'keyah Bell. Throughout those years of running track it began to feel good about knowing that it was what I wanted to do, not only that it was what I loved to do. Running track became more passionate to me then any other sport. Last year 2008 was unforgettable I accomplished more than I could have ever imagined.

Track Running And Me by Tyler Ishmael.  My first running sport was in the spring; I started track knowing that I would be doing long distance. When I first started I was pretty fast in the mile and later I was also good at the 800 meters.

 

As the Boston Marathon quickly approaches, both runners and  coaches agree that mental preparedness can make or break a runner’s performance on the big day.
