a little pat on the back

Our running Gators have been working so hard! We have put many miles on our shoes already and with every practice they become better runners! Tonight coach Lee shared with them a story about a past Goshen runner who put in hard work all year long and at the state meet it finally paid off! He told them to focus on making themselves better and not to worry about what other runners were doing. As long as you, as a runner, are improving then you are having success!

After practice the Coaches handed out letters to every child. Just a little pat on the back for all their hard work so far! Every child brings something special to the team and we are so happy to have each and every one of them!

They read their letters....soaking in the praises







They shared them with their parents.....

The best part was after the kids read their letters they all looked up and had a smile on their face! It feels good to know you have worked hard and that your hard work has been noticed!

We have put in hard work, shared laughter, sweat and tears at our practices. Our first meet is just around the corner and the kids can feel the excitement pulling them to that first Saturday when they put on their uniforms and run for Goshen...when they will run for themselves...and run for each other. Finally we are a team and that just feels good!

Go Gators!
