Perfecting The Process Daily
Congratulations on a great state meet performance this weekend! This was the first time in our program's history that we were able to bring 2 trophies home. And congratulations to Coach Weich's team at Broomfield, Coach Reider at Monarch, and Coach Davies at Rock Canyon. They were the best programs in the state this year, and did an excellent job preparing their athletes this season. I hope you realize that we are in the company of some of the best programs in the nation here in Colorado!
One of our goals this year was to sweep the state championship. We came very close. The boys just 9 pts away, and the girls 7. That is pretty amazing, and there are not many programs around that can say that. I know it is disappointing when goals are not achieved. However, achieving the goal is not what's important, it's the process you followed along the way. When we set down in June we set goals for the state meet that were very ambitious, and we knew we would have to be fully committed along the way to try and achieve those goals. We also said that these 8 things would have to be a part of the process, and perfecting each a little bit everyday is what it would take.
We have 3 weeks to go until NXR. That's 3 weeks for everyone on our TEAM to find some part of the process to improve upon. Make that your goal for the next 3 weeks and lets see where it takes us. We have plenty of opportunities to get better between now, and November 19th to perfect the process a little more each day.
I am very proud of our TEAM! The coaches are grateful everyday for the opportunity to coach such great people, and be a part of something as special as Vista Nation XC!
