Track Meet Behavior/ Expectations Behavior. You all know our expectations. Take PRIDE in who you are as a person as well as being a great teammate. Know when you compete. DO NOT MISS YOUR EVENTS! WE WILL NOT ALWAYS BE ABLE TO REMIND YOU OR COME FIND YOU!! BE RESPONSIBLE AND ALERT! We compete to win AND have fun. (Hard Work Pays Off Then we can have some fun!) When an athlete is not competing, he or she will remain at the designated camp site with the rest of the team. Track athletes only. (*You are NOT allowed to be in the stands) No parents in the Maus track camp. (You can stand outside the fence to talk to them) Track is a team sport and athletes are expected to stay the duration of the meet. You ride the bus to and from the meet. *We understand if there is something pressing once (do not make it a habit, or we will give your spot to someone else, plus that last event is a huge event, and our teammates need you there to cheer them on!)
Nutrition is Important! **No meal plans through us for track, parents need to bring you something to school by 3:35, to the meet, or pack something ahead of Vme!** Before a Meet: Carbohydrates!!! CARB CARBO LOAD (pasta, bread) and WATER!! (*eat protein LOAD too!..chicken, and WATER!! turkey) During a Meet: Peanut Buder and Jelly, Banana s, Apples, Meal Replacement bars, Grapes, Almond or any nut mixes, WATER, Gatorade replace sodium and electrolytes lost when swea;ng! **PLEASE BRING SOMETHING** DO NOT: Eat junk food during compe;;on, no sodas, candy, energy drinks, etc. (You will crash, and you will not be able to run and compete at your best!) You get out what you put in! Good In = Good Out, Crap In= You get the point! J
