ATHLETE


“I enjoy working with our athletes,
helping them set goals, and try to achieve them.” This is just one upside to being a track coach. There is also the companionship from the other coaches. Coach Griff is anticipating that this year’s team will make it to state. “Our practices are designed to have our athletes peaking at the right time of the year.”

 









 

“That first peak is the best place to pause and look back, to see if you took the easiest route, to learn the lessons from the first climb. And it is the best place to examine the terrain ahead, to change your plans and goals, to take a deep breath and begin climbing again.”- Johnson. The team is coached by Coach Barker

 

 

 

Golf is a very different sport, “You always feel like you could’ve done a little better than you actually played- which is why you keep coming back and torturing yourself.” Although Coach Einspahr might enjoy “torturing” his athletes he does hope the best for them. Through encouragment he wants to help them sail to a first place at state.

But if you long to keep going, then I hope you are able to follow my lead to the places I have gone. To within a whisper of your own personal perfection. To places that are sweeter because you worked so hard to arrive there. To places at the very edge of your dreams.” -Johnson The team is coached by Coach Burbery.
