Encouraging your peers

It was heartening to watch all of you encourage and cheer on your teammates. The encouragement means so much more when it comes from your fellow athletes. As a coach, I have to pay attention to so many other variables that my encouragement is often forced and less than genuine. Whereas your cheers and hoo-rahs are coming from the heart (& the tired thighs & the "fuck this shit, I love it" mindset.) So from here on out- cheering each other on is your job, not mine. & I'm going to hold you to it.
