PURSUIT of HAPPINESS… and RECORDS!
“…That among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness!” This one of the most famous quotes from the Declaration of Independence, and it has been a driving FORCE in my life, of which the Liberty Tour Track & Field Series is just a part. I am unsure where “Breaking Records” falls when it […]
CHAMPIONS PERFORM @ CHAMPIONSHIPS!
It is often used as a cliché, and quite often overused! Nonetheless, it is also quite TRUE that Champions Perform @ Championships! On Saturday, June 18th, that rang TRUE once more as the Adirondack Track & Field Championships became the setting for Athletes to Perform as Champions! Without a doubt the most decorated Champion was […]
RUN, JUMP, THROW!
As one that is a Teacher of Physical Education, the Foundation for all Basic Motor Skill Movement is Running, Jumping, and Throwing! That noted, being able to develop those Basic Skills, as a young boy or girl, is to be able to set the stage for taking on Fine Motor Movement Skills, such as Sprinting, […]
RECORDS for the AGES!
As the saying goes, “Records are Made to be Broken”! This would usually create some animosity, one might think, but in reality, most Athletes that hold Records, as coveted as they are, DO NOT seem bothered when someone comes along to Break “their” Record. At the Constitution Classic of 2022 there were Records for the […]
A LITTLE RAIN MUST FALL…
It is an old saying that, “In Every Life a Little Rain Must Fall!” I believe there are two (2) points to draw from this statement that are most helpful: We are NEVER going to have Sunshine every day! As much as it would be preferred, most Living Things would die, without water. So, […]
FREE AS A BIRD!
For two (2) years we have been Locked Down, Masked, and Homebound! Sports came to a SCREECHING HAULT! Exercise had to take place inside your home, and with no one else around! Gyms were forced to close their doors with NO timeframe for re-opening! Then the NFL (National Football League) did […]
BACK on TRACK… & FIELD!
Well, it is about TIME! Being “Locked Out” from Competitive Sports for more than 18 months is a tough pill to swallow! ☹ It is equally FRUSTRATING waiting for an “Approval” to get Back on Track… & Field! We are HAPPY to announce that that time has finally, come! 😊 The Empire State Sports Council will […]
GOLD in the ADIRONDACKS!
I can hear all of the phrases now, “She’s too short! He’s not BIG enough! She is the youngest in her Age Division! He comes from a small town!” Oh yes, the naysayers have all of the insight when it comes to who can be Great and who doesn’t stand a […]
CHAMPIONS RISE @ CHAMPIONSHIP EVENTS!
It is one of the most intriguing concepts in life, let alone the World of Sports… CHAMPIONS RISE @ Championship Events! 😊 One of the most difficult things in Sports, as a coach, is to challenge Athletes to Train at the level they will NEED to Perform at. Unfortunately, they KNOW that Practice IS NOT […]
T. E. A. M. Together Everyone Achieves More
Anagrams, at times, can be overused, cute, and difficult. In this case, though, it is ABSOLUTE TRUTH! Seldom do folks think of Team when the sport of Track & Field is the topic of conversation, as we are often discussing the Individual Performance of […]
