Millbrook XC and T&F

Champions. Back to back.

84% of 11-year-olds aren't allowed to leave their street. 53% can't leave their front yard. 92% of 14-year-olds can't leave their neighborhood. We built a culture obsessed with safety. The result? A generation that's measurably more anxious: substack.com/home/post/p-19…

More evidence that the global decline in test scores that began after 2012 is linked to the proliferation of smartphones and computers in class: The slide was bigger in countries where students began spending more time on devices (for leisure) generationtechblog.com/p/phones-at-sc…

Jeff Galloway, a 1972 U.S. Olympian and beloved coach, but perhaps best known for teaching the world that slowing down was the secret to going further, has died at the age of 80. 🕊️ His revolutionary run-walk-run method (affectionately known around the world as “Jeffing”) transformed marathon running from an elite pursuit into something beautifully ordinary, accessible to anyone willing to lace up their shoes. He survived a devastating heart attack in 2021, where his heart stopped for four and a half minutes before five stents brought him back. Doctors credited his decades of endurance training with helping keep him alive. True to form, he responded not by resting on his laurels, but by relearning to walk and then planned to return to the marathon. Before an injury forced him to scratch from last December’s Honolulu Marathon, Galloway was set to become the first person to complete a marathon in eight consecutive decades. He was planning to return in 2026. “My mission now, at the age of 80-plus, is to show that people can do things that are normally not done, and can do them safely,” he told The New York Times last month. Galloway’s Book on Running is considered probably the best-selling running coaching book of all time. Jeff Galloway opened up running to everyone. He is survived by every single person who ever doubted themselves, took their first step and made it to the other side of a finish line that they initially didn’t think would be possible. ♥️

Specializing a kid early on is bad. Have them do different sports. For example: XC - fall Indoor track - winter Outdoor track - spring

Millbrook men’s 4x400 took 2nd place at the state championship yesterday with a time of 3:23 - a new school record and a top 20 time in state history! Congrats to AJ, Michael, Kaleb, and Wyatt!

@MillbrookWR Congrats to the team and Coach Saby!
