Personal Eassy On Cross Country

The Jonathan Alder Cross Country team is half way into their team taper and already saw success from the weekly drop in mileage. The team dropped 25% of their weekly mileage this past week and are heading into the postseason running only 50% of their usual mileage. The taper is used to feel fresh come race day and let your training do the rest. This past Saturday, at the MOAC Championships, the team witnessed some of its best results of the season in their final year in the conference.

Participating in sports has taught me to be responsible for my own actions. Whenever I fail I move on and keep on trying. I’ve struggled but in the end I overcame most of the obstacles I faced.( I learn from my my mistakes )Flag football has taught me to become a leader, however, track and field taught me

Teamwork is the act of working together and accomplishing a combined goal. Throughout the movie, McFarland USA, teamwork was an important subject the viewers were able to experience. The act of teamwork was first seen when the Diaz family was working in the field. Without a thought of hesitation, the Diaz boys worked together as hard as they could to ensure their family would be supported. Being in a family shows a level of teamwork, and the Diaz family portrays this by working to support their family.

Although, some don’t consider cross country a true sport at all because there’s no ball, no physical contact, and there’s hardly a team. Cross-country is compiled of a team of individuals, bonded by their shared suffering, and each of them runs their own race. Success depends solely on the individual and each runner has the same opportunity to succeed. A cross country runner must be able to own both their successes as well as their failures. The races are the most thrilling times of the sport.

Blistering heat, rushing adrenaline, and a lost voice are all ways to describe one example of a leadership experience that I had was during my junior year at my second CBL Cross Country race. I remember that at this time, instead of putting in our top seven runners at this varsity race, we actually instead put in our number eight through 14 runners on the team due to our coach playing a gamble and seeing if we could still possibly win the League Championship while sitting out our top racers.

Running cross country my senior year has afforded me many opportunities to develop my leadership skills. The most important leadership lesson I have learned through this is to listen to others. I joined the team with a very limited experience in the realm of the sport, but our team was very young which presented me an amazing opportunity to lead. I had to rely on younger members with more experience than me to make informed and effective decisions. Through listening to the advice others, I was able to lead the group into becoming a more supportive community of

I had heard about the cross country team but I didn’t know anyone who was a part of it. The cross country team was full of girls who were welcoming and shared the same passion for running as me. I was putting in a lot of time into this team, from long practices everyday and meets every Wednesday and Saturday, but I wouldn’t have had it any other way. I was able to mentor the younger members on the team and share my love for running with them. After being a part of this team for three years, together, we have won three consecutive senate championships and developed a bond like no other.

I learned how to teach people things. If you've never done that before, let me tell you it's an empowering feeling. I learned about hard work. Through FFA i’ve learned how hard you have to work to do the things you want to do. I've helped fund raise the money to go on all of the FFA trips we have went on, as well as mentally challenged myself by individually planning, organizing and overseeing fund raisers. After joining FFA I joined track. Track has taught me so much about hard work as well, because for me track is something I’ve had to work at. I'm a six boot tall clumsy girl so in order to go fast I first had to figure out how to get all of my body parts headed in the same direction. My favorite race is the 400 meter dash, which most people don't enjoy because it's a super long sprint. I've worked really hard at it the past three years and i just keep improving at it. My sophomore year at one of my meets I improved my 400 time by 5 seconds! and if you have ever ran track you would know that's actually quite a bit. after that it changed my whole perspective of life. It taught me that I can do anything that I set my mind

Although I had only participated in the school Cross Country team for two years, I felt very connected to the team and wish I had participated my sophomore and freshmen year as well. Over the two seasons, I have made many great friends and learned the importance of working hard to achieve my goals. Throughout my life, my parents have pushed me academically, but never really encouraged me to try hard in sports or physical activities. Cross country filled that void for me and helped me become a more well-rounded person.

During my role as captain of cross country, the largest problem I face is promoting team bonding. Because cross country is more of an individual sport, the team is not quite as close. As captain, I try to encourage team bonding by planning team dinners after practices and meets. These dinners are a way to get the team together to get to know each other.

“In running, it doesn’t matter whether you come in first, in the middle or last. You can say, ‘ I finished’ There is a lot of satisfaction in that” - Fred Lebow. I began cross country in eighth grade shortly after my brother joined the year before. He enjoyed it a lot, so I thought it would be fun. I’ve been on the team for two years. I would like to run for the rest of my life. Cross country changed my life positively forever. It taught me to push myself past what I thought was my limit. It revealed to me a great community of people and it taught me to leave my comfort zone.

Running a marathon at only 17 years old taught me that the strongest supplements a person needs are determination and motivation. The largest development of mindset and the confirmation of my future career came from when I chose to vicariously run 26.2 miles for the person who inspires me the most; my mother. When I was younger, my mother ran the Chicago Marathon twice. After her diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis in 2013, she still continued to attempt to run and walk despite her immense pain. She eventually was unable to run, until I worked with her to build strength for jogging. She then started walking and jogging as much as possible. Inspired by her, I decided to run the Towpath Full Marathon in October of 2015, after six months of training.

Throughout my high school career, I have been a varsity member on the cross country team. At practice and outside of practice, I have the opportunity to run several trails and gravel roads in my community. This is due to the fact that you cover quite a few miles throughout the cross country season. Cross country meets take place at several different golf courses, and the views are gorgeous. Even as you run, it’s easy to forget your performance nerves and be calmed by the green foliage and nature. The scenery is absolutely breath taking. Since cross country races are so long, I would occasionally reach a point in the race where I find myself completely alone along the race path, and you get this feeling of freedom. It takes your mind

In a much greater scheme, I have taken the lessons learned from track and field into my volunteer experiences. Through the organization Recreation Experiences, I worked with a team of volunteers to dig holes that would help install new septic systems to numerous families. I’ve been able to help service families in need of new septic systems who cannot afford to pay for the job to be done. Doing my part on a team was as important there as it has been on the track. I can absolutely trace my success back to humble beginnings in track and
