Many of you are also track and field coaches. Last Friday night we had a meet we should have easily won, but lost by 7 points. I had 5 boys bail out of events with "injuries", and another I pulled due to injury.
So today at practice, Im looking for some Wizard of Oz drills. Something that shows heart, courage and brains. Heart drills are easy (first one to quit and so on), brain and courage another.
Any ideas?

I always did the 40 second drill with track guys, every athlete had to run individually for 40 seconds, and stop at the time, we rewarded those that got the farthest, and punushed the guys who didnt compete

Doesn't that only benefit the fast guys? We do something similar, but we make our guys beat their previous spot. After 3 or 4 times, you can tell what guys are working they're a$$ off and which ones are loafing it.

The "50 Second Drill " is a standard of 400 meter training/testing. Throughout the season you re-test with the goal of getting further around the track each time. Breaking 50 seconds in the 400 is pretty good (for us small school guys) so a kid has something to shoot for. Brains on the other hand ...  |
