track is a very different kind of sport. if you look at football you have to be very powerfully built all over. in track, you really need to have your legs strong but you also have to have your arms strong to because they help your momentum and stability. all the events in track involve alot of movement. track is a sport where you have to be in shape or you wont be good at it. people are very into not doing anything. many people dont like physical activity. thats what makes america fat. people need to get out and play

Almost Here!

highjump510 — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 19:24:46 +0000

Track for me is almost here. all i need to do is wait tell wrestlings over then its track city baby! track is almost my favorite thing to do besides sleep. track is a good way to release all your excess energy in a way that is good for you. people dont realize that track is a chalenging sport. it takes alot of mental awareness to do track. people who arent mentaly strong arent made for track. peopel who are good at track are not easily gotten to. like if someone is in the high jump, its not easy to get into their heads. they can block out everything around them and just focus on the task at hand. although there are many high jumpers out there, only the secuessful ones are able to block out all the things going on around them. for me, track starts around march. it is a very exciting time and is probably the happiest time of the year for me besides christmas of corse. track is a very demanding sport and it takes the best of the best to do it.

High Jump on Scholership

highjump510 — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 19:09:52 +0000

Track is a very layed back sport until you are in the race. Highjump is even better because when your in the compotition, you are never really stressing your body. it doesn’t wear on your body like alot of the other sports in the world like football where it is fairly simple to get hurt. you would just go to practice for maybe a little over an hour then go work out then your done! easy peasy lemon squeezy. you are able to focus on your work alot better when you have more time on your hands and aren’t stressing out over any of the plays like in football. its really simple and if your really good at it, it can take you a long way. going to college for track would be really cool and sound like something i would want to do with my life. it would get me into a college and would hopefully pay for some of it.http://trackandfield.com/

fosbury flop

highjump510 — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 19:24:20 +0000

Dick fosbury grew up very quickly. he was really langhty and skinny. he liked high jump but was never very good at it. he only really could jup around 5 by the time he was in high jump. he was thought to be a very good at bakketball because he was so tall. but he kept going in high jump. One day at a track meet, he was at the high jump. He was at the height that he was stuck on then out of a stoke of genious. he decided to go over backward. from 5’4″ to 5’10″ he just kept going. some say it was the bigest change in high jump history.

Going to College for High Jump

highjump510 — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 18:20:11 +0000

If i were to go to college for highjump that would probably be the best way to go. It is low stress, doesn’t hurt your body, and you dont have to run long distances to do it. it would be very intence but a great way to get into college. while there you would have regular practice but it wouldn’t be as bad as say football or even if you ran the 100m or 200m. it seems to me like it is the best way to go to college full ride, if they even give full rides for track. then you wouldent have to stress out about forgeting a practice jersey or not having knee pads or anything like that. you just show up, shorts and t-shirt and work on what needs improving. there wouldn’t be a thought of not being able to get your homework done or anything like that because it isn’t a high stress sport so you are never hurting. at most you might be a little sore the next day but thats i. that would be the way i would want to go to college.

Olympics

highjump510 — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 18:06:28 +0000

Track only really gets popular during the world championships of the Olympics. The Olympics are a very special event and only happen every 4 years. they consist of many sports and activities to decide who the best in the world is. there are many events but the most populare event i think is Track and field. it is where the opening ceromonys happen so it is mostly the most popular thing to watch. probably the most popular event in track is the 100m dash. It takes the fastest people in the world to excel at the event. WHen you are at the olympics, there are the best of the best competing at the same time. it is the toughest meet they will ever have. the athletes train for years propairing for that one week of compotition. they try their hardest on that one day when they make it to the finals in their event if they even make it that far. my favorite time is when you can tell that someone is about to win the gold medal. they havent quite won it yet but they know they have won it. they are excited and cant wait to be announced the olympic gold medalest. their country yells with excitement. the winner stands infront of the world and announces him/herself the Olympic Champion.

Track

highjump510 — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 18:06:52 +0000

track is a very demanding sport. You have people doing the 100m while you have another person doing the shot put while there was a world record in the pole vault. This means that when you are good at some event you might want to just stick to that event because all the time there are people breaking boundry’s in there event. Usain Bolt is trying to be “the man” and wants to try for the long jump world record. he already has the 100m and 200m world records and wants to go for the long jump world record as well. I think he should just stay at the 100m and 200m because he is really good at those and needs to make his events better instead of just messing around with the long jump.

Falling Behind

Afasa Powell is sorta falling behind the pack in the pro world of track. He was once a world record holder but now he has sorta faided out of the spotlight in the track world. Dont get me wrong, he’s amazingly fast but just not as fast as he used to be. Other compeditors have taken the rains of the title as fastest man ever.

College Track

highjump510 — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 18:12:33 +0000

College track is very different from profesional track because the college athelets are in school and have to ballance track with school and their personal life. The pro’s dont have to so their whole time is wholy devoted to improving in their event. I think thats why you dont ever see any college kids breaking the world record in the 100m. Another thing is that some people never even make it to the pro’s because they aren’t good enough.
