You Have Four Years To Do Something Extraordinary by Chris Bennett- Why it matters: The head coach of one of the top high school teams in the country has a one minute clip about doing something special in high school. Take note!
Mary Cain Will Not Run Cross Country by Runners World- Why it matters: Mary Cain is the greatest high school distance runner in US history and has chosen not to run cross country her senior year. She finished her track season late in the summer and has elected not to run Nike this year. I don't fully agree with that decision, but I'm not her coach so I guess it doesn't matter!
Mary Cain raced in Moscow during the summer.
NCC Goes For 40 Straight by North Central College- Why it matters: If you can't understand how insane it is to win 40 titles in a row over the course of 40 years then you don't know anything about sports (or life probably)!
Early Signing Period by CBS Sports- Why it matters: This mainly affects football since no other sports really want high school athletes early, but this could affect some sprinters in track. With early enrollment happening more often, this makes the process more fluid.
College Scholarships by Donna Dye- Why it matters: Parents are always talking about college scholarships but I think many have a skewed idea of just how difficult it is to achieve an athletic scholarship. Donna Dye explains a good bit about how to achieve one. As she notes, only about 2% of athletes are award athletic scholarships.
