ot/Not so. Perhaps that kind of problem is common in average to sub-par programs. But we're talking about a dynasty track program at this particular H.S. Consistently one of the best in the state. Year after year they win the Ohio Capital Conference, our league championship, then gone on to dominate the higher level of competition in the district meet and then put forward a strong showing in the regionals. My son has been working with this coaching staff for 4 years. After exposure to other sports programs, it's easy to say this one is far and away the best run. The coaches take a wholistic approach to the boys. Diet, mutual respect and the right kind of low key encouragement to build self esteem and a positive attitude. These boys are self motivated by nature. The coaches understand this and simply guide and mentor the boys when necessary. Many of the best participants in the program, have thoroughly enjoyed being in competitive sports since they were quite young. And, by H.S.? The vast majority do it because THEY want to. Not because of parental pressure. Hell, I was a no good hippie musician when I was growing up in the 60s.<G> My son is his own man. IMO, that's the only way to go when you're bringing up children. Anyway, the cream of the crop in these top drawer sports programs tend to stay on top year after year. And, if I had to venture an educated guess as to the drop out rate (some of it shifting to other sports)? It's probably 2 or 3 out of 10, at most. With the stars of the team it's far less than that. No more time for track posts today. Back to work:o)) Cheers, Isopatch
