My guys have finally started dressing like runners. Our top sprinters wear tights (without shorts). I think it is pretty cool that they are not so modest anymore and they have to feel more comfortable running.

It helped that alumni came back to practice and visit wearing their college stuff - tights, etc. and looked like pros.

Plus my guys are running fast so that also gives them confidence.

And we have two young coaches that are still good athletes and they are good role models.

Take them to the Penn Relays or other top meets and they will be amazed at not only the athletes' attire, but the whole atmosphere!


I got a crew going to Penn Relays next week! They are pumped up. I've been trying to change the culture for the track team since last year. When I first took over the team the attitude was that track was just a means to get in shape for other sports. These guys have come a LONG way since then but they are not there yet.

I've got some of the guys reading my Seb Coe, Lovelock, Lydiard, Cerutty, etc. books. It's been a blast. They can't get over the crowd that will be watching them run next week. Shooting for a 3:28 4x400.[/quote]

nice, I loved the Penn Relays in H.S. - my 12th grade year was 2010 when Usain Bolt ran in front of 50,000 people, including myself.

You can also show them workout videos from "flotrack.com" which has collegiate athletes wearing the short shorts and watches etc.
