Race Ready!

CHS T&F Athletes, are you competition ready on race day? Here's a checklist you can follow to make sure you compete your best.

Adequate sleep. Allow your body to heal and rejuvenate.
Healthy eating and hydration (See healthy eating tab)
Relax and recall. Do not overly stress but feel competitive. Recall your race strategy, having confidence in the plan, yourself, your training, and your coach.
Do you have your uniform, spikes, warmup suit, water bottle, small snacks, etc.? Prepare for a full day at the track. Prepare for the weather on that day.
Do a full warm up at minimum 30 minutes prior to your race. Grab your event group and get ready. Align your mind and body. Fully and adequately prepare.
Execute. Teammates and coaches are cheering you on. Coaches are checking for positive outcomes that will be reinforced, but also places to make better.
By championship time, the goal is to be the best athlete you can be. Know that per track meet, it is okay to make mistakes. We must learn to correct them, training and competing to make the difference.
Be a student of your event. Learning continues even after practice or a competition. Work hard for the results you'd like to see. Resilience. Continue to feel encouraged.
