@CoachDJBrock That was my worst workout, but the most dead I’ve ever been was probably when I was training solo and I did 350,300,250,200 on 7’ and damn did that hurt… I’ve never laid down so long post workout in my life. Was probably on the turf for like 30-45 mins after finishing 😭

Thanks for coming out to visit with our track team yesterday Coach Chabon.
Hopefully we can get some Farmer athletes to run for Lasalle soon.

@CoachDJBrock I always bring up the 40yd dash I was timed at senior year while playing football… teammate on an iPhone clocked me at 4.09 about 8 months prior to Coleman running his 4.12.
I ran a video timed 4.76 via Hudl Combine that same season. Ran 6.66 and 11.27 (w/ 7.64 55H) during T&F.

College workload👇
As an incoming freshman and track and field athlete in college, your workload will be a balancing act between academics, athletics, and personal life. Here’s a breakdown of what to expect:
Academic Workload
•Course Load: Most freshmen take 12–15 credit hours per semester (about 4–5 classes). Each credit hour typically translates to 1 hour of in-class time per week, plus 2–3 hours of outside work (studying, assignments, projects). Expect 30–45 hours per week on academics, including:
◦Classes: Lectures, seminars, or labs, varying by major (e.g., STEM majors may have more lab time).
◦Homework/Studying: Reading, problem sets, essays, or group projects. Freshman courses (e.g., intro to biology, English 101) often emphasize foundational skills.
◦Exams and Projects: Midterms, finals, and papers spread across the semester, with heavier workloads during peak times (mid-October, early December).
•Time Management: You’ll need to adapt to less structured schedules than high school. Professors expect independent work, and syllabi outline deadlines early.
Athletic Workload (Track and Field)
•Practice: NCAA Division I, II, or III programs typically require 15–20 hours per week for practices, including:
◦Track Workouts: Sprints, distance runs, or field event-specific drills (e.g., pole vault, shot put) for 2–3 hours daily, 5–6 days a week.
◦Strength Training: Weight room sessions 2–4 times per week to build power and prevent injury.
◦Team Meetings: Strategy sessions, film reviews, or coach check-ins (1–2 hours weekly).
•Competitions: Meets occur on weekends, with 1–2 per month during the season (indoor: Jan–Mar; outdoor: Apr–Jun). Travel for away meets can take full days, impacting study time.
•Physical Recovery: Stretching, foam rolling, or physical therapy sessions (1–2 hours daily) are critical to avoid burnout or injury, especially for freshmen adjusting to higher intensity.
•NCAA Regulations: Athletes are limited to 20 hours of “countable athletically related activities” per week during the season (less in off-season), but additional voluntary training or recovery can add up.
Additional Responsibilities
•Team Bonding/Events: Mandatory team-building activities or community service (a few hours per month).
•Academic Support: Many programs require study halls (5–10 hours/week) for freshmen to maintain NCAA eligibility (minimum GPA, typically 2.0–2.3).
•Social and Personal Life: Balancing friendships, sleep (7–9 hours/night is ideal), and personal errands (laundry, meals) requires discipline, as time is tight.
Typical Weekly Schedule (Example)
•Monday–Friday:
◦8 AM–12 PM: Classes (2–3 hours daily).
◦12 PM–2 PM: Lunch, study, or downtime.
◦2 PM–5 PM: Track practice + strength training.
◦5 PM–7 PM: Recovery (stretching, trainer visits).
◦7 PM–10 PM: Study hall, homework, or group projects.
•Saturday: Morning practice or competition (4–8 hours if a meet).
•Sunday: Light recovery run or rest, plus catching up on academics (3–5 hours).
Challenges for Freshman Athletes
•Time Management: Juggling academics and athletics is intense. Missing classes for meets means you’ll need to communicate with professors early.
•Physical Demands: College training is more rigorous than high school, with higher risk of overuse injuries (e.g., shin splints, stress fractures).
•Mental Load: Homesickness, social pressures, and performance expectations can add stress. Athletic departments often provide mental health resources.
Tips for Success
•Use a Planner: Track deadlines, practices, and meets to stay organized.
•Prioritize Recovery: Sleep and nutrition are non-negotiable to perform in both academics and athletics.
•Communicate: Build relationships with coaches and professors to manage conflicts (e.g., rescheduling exams due to meets).
•Leverage Resources: Academic advisors, tutors, and athletic support staff are there to help you stay eligible and succeed.

@CoachDJBrock @brandonwilbur_ Even in college track, if not especially moreso with often limited rosters nowadays. If Athlete A can win the 100 at conference, cool, 10 points.
But Athlete B finishes 3rd in the 100, 3rd in the 200, and helps the 4x4 to a podium finish, that’s 13.5 points, at minimum.

@brandonwilbur_ Not always in HS track especially
10.8 that can run 200 that’s scores and then be a leg in a championship 4x4
Helps more than a kid that can ONLY run a nice 100m and refuses to do any relays or other events
