People that are true Track and Field fans, lovers nuts about track and field have a language and phraseology(is that a word???) That is distinctively Track and Field. I posted in the past many quotes that were fun,silly and motivating.
Check out the ones I recently received from my last post on this topic and hearing it screamed out in andaround the stadium. The list grows . Here’s the total list thus far .
- She is a Beast
- That was tasty!
- Nothing but the truth
- Speed Demon
- Simply “Untouchable”
- The 400m meters, only the strong survive
- If we played tag, you’d be it forever”
- 400m is the new 100m *
- Losing is a temporary location winning is an unending journey
- The pride you gain is worth the pain
- We train on the black so we can win on the Blue ( FYI Drake stadium has a blue track)
- Trample the weak, hurdle the dead
- Pain is weakness leaving the body
- The talent to be a great runner is a gift from God; utilizing that talent is a gift from you to yourself
- If you are willing to say you can’t, you might as well go home!
- All it takes is all you’ve got
- Every runner has excuses, but a champion never uses them
- Only a runner doesn’t smile at the word fartlek
- Pain is temporary, pride is forever
- I play the game, I play it smart. My energy comes straight from the heart. I use my head, I use my feet. Don’t mess with me, I’m 100% athlete.
- A runner’s addiction is never sufficed
- Losing to someone better than you is inevitable. Losing because you didn’t try hard enough is optional.
- There is no I in team, but there’s a U in suck! (I heard a kid tell another one of his friends that one)
- It’s rude to count people as you pass, out loud!
- We run ours off so we can kick yours
- Some people ask why I run so fast…well what do you do when you hear a gun?
- Obstacles are what you see when you take your eyes off the goal *
- Never settle for less than your best
- It’s what you do when the coach isn’t around that makes you a champion *
- To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift
- Real athletes run, others just play games
- Some people run a race to see who’s the fastest, I run to see who has the most guts.” – Pre *
- “Champions are made when no one is watching.” – Aneurys Santos
- “Obstacles are the things we see when we take our eyes off our goals”
- *Confidence is contagious- so is a lack of confidence. *
- I firmly believe that any man’s finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle – victorious.
- You can’t coach heart, you can never coach desire, they must always come from within. Rules may be learned, and skill developed, But you cannot be taught the will to win. You must reach a little deeper to bring out your best, you must be your own motivation. Keep going, Never Quit, You have to find a reason. You are your own strength, Your own Motivation
- If you can accept losing, you can’t win. *
- *Success demands singleness of purpose.*








Pain is temporary; quitting lasts forever
Dont ask why just run til you die.
We bust ours to kick yours!
do you have any quotes for shot putters or discus throwers or any other field event!
I will have to looking around keep checking back!!
Don’t look back, someone might be gaining.

i saw a shirt that said “If we played tag you’d be it forever.”
kicking asphalt

BEASTLY
this sport would be fun if it wasnt for all the running (thats for cross country)
We are NOBODY:
NOBODY has more desire
NOBODY practices harder
NOBODY wants it more
NOBODY wins championships
pain is temporary……championships are forever
1. Champions are made when the decide to become one….working hard isn’t optional
2. In order to be number 1, you have to train like your number 2
3. In Track and Field No one or any circumstance can make you feel inferior without your consent.
So Never Give It!
4. Hard work will beat great talent if great talent don’t work hard
5. This for shot and disc “Bigger is Better”
in order to be perfect you have to strive perfection
Can’t means you won’t try
Caution: No Speed Limit
Our sport is your sports punishment!
We do 5ks, Cheerleaders do cartwheels!
i have a saying to say when you practing before a meet
“train for track
train train for track
then jump the hurdle
jump jump the hurdle
then you train for field
train train for field
then throw the dicuss
throw throw the discuss
then you rockk the meet
rock rock the meet
then you win
win win got (team name)”
This is a great trash talking quote, “Get Wit’ it or Get Left”
It’s what you do when the coach is not around that makes you a champion.
Track is my life!
And life is good
“Somewhere in The World Someone’s Training When You Are Not. When You Race Him, He Will Win.”
“You have a choice. You can throw in the towel, or you can use it to wipe the sweat off of your face.”
“Whether you believe you can or believe you can’t, you’re probably right”
i started running last year and fell in love with it. i did xc and my first time was 23:45. now i run in the 17′s. im in the 4 minutes for the mile and 10 for the 2 mile. i dont believe im fast. i just believe i work hard.
“It’s not about beating the guy next to you, it’s about beating yourself. Pushing farther than your limits.”
“I’m not racing them, I’m racing my previous time.”
“I dont train for first, nor to be the best, but the greatest.”
“Losing is inevitable, it’s how you accept it that determines the winning next time.”
“I may be racing against other people, but I’m really racing to beat my best time.”
“Even if i win the race, I’m not satisfied unless I PR!”
“How did you like seeing my but the entire time in the race?”
“You cant pass what you cant catch”
“I believe in leaving everything on the track. Nothing but my best would be a waste of a day”
Runners: Get right or get left
Throwers: I mess with the white stuff….Chalk
Never underestimate your opponent, for you then be humiliated.
Run not for yourself
But for your team
But when you run
Run to for GOLD
I made this one up when I was running
“when you Sacrifice, Train & Listen to your Heart you can make the Impossible “Possible”

“Were a drinking team with a throwing problem”
“My girlfriend forced me to choose between her and discus……I sure do miss her”
“Why run and puke when you can throw and eat?”
“If you can’t throw with the best, then go run with the rest”
“Throwers: The reason Dad’s lock up their daughters
“You tell me to get in shape, Round is a shape”
“Our event would be 10times as fun if we could throw at each other…..”
Just to name a few for the big men
“We didnt say it would ve easy. We said it would be worth it.”
