Second year of Southern Athletics

My first year coaching AAU summer track was two summers ago.  I only coached 8 kids, and by the end of the summer around half of that was still training.  I tagged along with a local club I was just coaching a few kids who went to school I just started coaching at, John Curtis Christian in River Ridge.  Last summer I took a big step and started my own club, Southern Athletics, and with the help of head track coach from Curtis, Preston Curtis, worked with over 20 kids who, amazingly, all stuck with it.  So now I've come to 2013 and the second year of the club and this year looks like it will be easily bigger and better than the last two years.  I'm excited and anxious to help the kids develop over the course of the summer and have a solid team to take to the AAU Club National Championship at Disney world in July.  Time will tell how well we do, but either way it should be a fun time.
