Too often, the benefits of other sports are overlooked by those involved. Track, in particular, can aid in developing speed, agility, explosiveness and endurance, each of these attributes are critical to success in other sports such as football, cross country, basketball, volleyball and wrestling.
A change in seasons is good for athletes. The change in seasons allows the athletes to change focus and not burn themselves out on training for a particular sport.
A change in seasons is also beneficial to athletes who play multiple sports during the school year.
Athletes who play multiple sports seem to put less pressure on themselves. They can actually have fun playing or participating in a sport and not take everything so seriously.
Let's face it: track and field involves a lot of waiting. It's something you learn at your very first track meet. Honestly, it doesn't really change as you progress in your career, whether you're competing in college or even the pro level.
Sprinters hang around for their heat; shot putters wait for their flight, and then their turn.
It's just the nature of the sport.
However, downtime isn't just about hanging out and checking your phone or getting caught up watching other competitors.
It's an opportunity. Mental practice is a tool that lets athletes shake off any setbacks from earlier attempts and stay fully engaged.
Mental practice can transform these stretches of waiting into crucial moments of preparation.
And this preparation can mean the difference between a decent performance and a PR!
