FIELD DAYS

After helping coach our school to a NYC City Championship in Track & Field I helped organize a Field Day for our school.  Running one of the legs of a relay for his class was a young man who was unbelievably fast.  Naturally we encouraged him to go out for the track team the following year.  He went on to set a world's record when he was sixteen!

MOTIVATIONAL SAYINGS

I used the following sayings with the young men and women that I coached and taught.  Their hard work on the track carried over to their classroom performance and made them champions in both arenas!  Track and Field page

If you think you are beaten, you are;
if you think you dare not, you don't;
if you like to win, but you think you can't
it's almost certain you won't.

Life's battles don't always go
to the stronger or faster man,
but sooner or later the man who wins
is the one who thinks he can.

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will.
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low, and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with the twists and turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out:
Don't give up though the pace seems slow.
You may succeed with another blow.

Success is failure turned inside out,
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit,
It's when things seem worse,
that you must not quit.

"It's not whether you win or lose. It's how you play the game!"

"To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift." Steve Prefontaine

"I can accept failure. Everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying."  Michael Jordan
