INTERVIEW
COACH SHELBY - SOUTH HILLS HS COACH
GUIDANCE
HS students are new to the sport. They need help to understand the form, strike, stride, pace, etc.
MORE THAN AN ATHLETE
Coach reminds us once again, they are HS students which means their life is much more than running. Not everyone aims to be a professional runner. It is important to have a balance life.
MOTIVATION
The new generation has a lot more distractions compare to the past. It is important to keep them motivated and introduce them to the benefit of running
