How Do You Make A Great Track Experience For Your Child ?
March 17, 2009
Coach Dean Hebert
This question has never been well answered by any publication - until now. Go ahead, Google it. Track and field is the most participated sport in high school in the United States. Yet, the most important questions are seldom if ever addressed. Coaches don’t know, don’t have time or don’t want to share some of this critical information. Most parents and youth do not have a basic understanding of the track and field world! Yet, it is that very understanding that will enhance EVERY parent and youth track & field athlete experience!
Do you know track etiquette?
Do you know what all those abbreviations in track & field stand for (like 300H, DMR, q or Q, NH, ND, NR, IAAF, NFHS)?
Do you know how to be a good spectator (parent) at track meets?
Do you know how to be prepared for a day at the track?
Do you know how to enhance motivation in your child?
Do you know how to find a club or coach?
Do you know how to keep your child optimally focused?
Do you know the facts about college scholarships for track/cross-country?
This book was the brain-child of Dr. Lorraine Williams. Once a youth athlete herself, only when her own daughter wanted to get involved with track & field did she realize how much is NOT known or shared about the sport! Dr. Williams (aka Trackmom) teamed up with Coach Dean to create a book that is one of a kind. Make no mistake about it, other attempts at this subject are lacking in substance and practical real life advice. Read More on this New Book Here
