HS Track coach says we are NOT allowed to have a girlfriend during track season

You get a scholarship to go to highschool?

What about boyfriends?

makes sense.

women weaken legs.

empirically proven.

Goal is to find a lady right when you are peaking. Women give an initial positive effect on runner's legs (assuming you're not staying up all night lickin' each others feet or whatever weird things HSers do these days) due to the mental joy of having found an attractive female to fool around with. Keep her for the summer, then dump her when XC beings so you can get focused because you might be able to do mileage and a girl at the same time, but when you gotta do mileage and intensity, the only girl rubbing up against your body better be a massage stick you named Lucy after your mother. Do this until your retire from competitive running or die, whichever comes first.

The fact you know how to spell "weird" correctly makes you a goddamn intellectual on this message board. Well done.

No. Think about the possibilities. 1) A private high school is giving athletic scholarships, to distance runners, and yet the coach is making a dumb rule even an elite coach wouldn't make, or 2) a troll post on LetsRun

Does your coach like to take showers with the team? If so, report him to your parents ASAP.

so my highschool track coach says we are NOT allowed to have a girlfriend during track season because he says it will interfere with our priorities and be a mental and physical roadblock in the way that we compete. he says he is perfectly fine with us having a girlfriend during off-season, but we are absolutely PROHIBITED from having a girlfriend when the season is going on. he says that is he hears about or see us having a "significant other" while the track season is going on, we will be immediately kicked off the team and our scholarship will be revoked.

I'm a high school track coach. That's none of his business.

My biggest pet peeve on letsrun.com is when people call a post a troll! Define troll and why one feels the need to post this all the time?

it is if they are mating

You couldn't get one anyway as evidenced by you posting here to whine and complain.

Is NOT having a girlfriend a problem for this crowd? He should be handing out scholarship to anyone who CAN actually get one.

If he asks you to "go long" and whips you with a towel in the shower, tell an adult.

Seriously though, that is none of his business and I would tell my parents if he interferes with your private life. School is school, private life is private life.

My girlfriend in high school used to ride a bike alongside as I was doing my 10 mile runs.

The following year after we broke up, I would go out drinking with my buddies every Saturday night.

I ran better when I had a girlfriend.

talk to principal - preferably with him in the room. Also talk with parents - preferably with them in the room with you and principal and 'coach' talk to 'coach' with a recording device .. in front of the team. Talk to 'coach' with your lawyer present. Talk to 'coach' with Superintendent present. Talk to coach with local newspaper reporter present. Show him this post.

I think that's about it - should cover the bases. One option should do it.

Awww, isn't that cute?

Not.

Does not sound right, you can't stop nature!

Although I must admit, my senior year outdoor season suffered because I was bedazzled by getting some/losing virginity.

After improving my mile by 14 seconds my junior year, I only improved another 5 seconds my senior year.

For all of us spending our time on Letsrun, well let's just say our coaches have never been our problem.
