Im a freshman who’s trying track and I’ve NEVER ran it before and literally know nothing about it so I was wondering can you only do running or do you have to do field activities?

this helped me so much cus im doing track for the first time and i’ve been to 2 practices and they haven’t really explained anything or what anything means and that really scares me and this video explained a lot thank you

0:28 its like saying “i’m not a professional, I’m just really good and experienced.”

Jesus Loves you God Loves you even when you think no one does they do so remember that 24/7 BESTIEEE<33

Thanks for the basics. I’ll be teaching track and field to our homeschool group classes from 4yrs old, all the way to teenagers. I never ran track and I HATED long jump in PE when I was in jr high. Haha

Perfect title 😊…thx for doing the video. I am a mom know absolutely nothing about track.

Senior year and first time doing track, nervous, but confident

As a professional track and field athlete I can say most of this is accurate, although she did not mention hammer throw and steeplechase. And yes spikes are optional, but for events like high jump, pole vault and triple jump there is a higher injury risk if you don't use proper footwear, in fact high jump becomes very difficult without spikes, but I say the best thing you could do if you have questions about spikes is to just ask your coach. Overall great video, mostly accurate, I get that the running distances in the US are different than in Europe and spikes for longer distances generally won't really help you unless you are elite and just need to shave off milliseconds

thank you for this video i’m so nervous for tryouts …

i want to do track this year but i’m just nervous cause i’ve never done it before so i don’t know what to expect

i wanna do track for for middle school but i have no experience AT ALL. im going to a track and field camp this summer and im afraid im gonna get judged cause i don’t know anything. thanks SO MUCH for this video. it really helped❤️

edit: so uhmmm, i’ve decided to do crew (rowing) instead because i realized it fits my interests more

At my school tryouts are going to be starting shortly after our winter break and I've never done Track before so I'm a bit nervous. I also have social anxiety and I'm kinda insecure about the way I run, but I'll try my best.

Thanks for the video it really helped me ❤❤❤😂

I’m gonna try out in spring❤

Good job

I might try out for high school this year as an 8th grader was your first year stressful?
