how can athletes better gain from the off season and should track and field athletes do cross country?

One way to gain from the off season is to reflect back on your performances during the season. Sit down with your coach, if possible, or by yourself and answer some general questions about your season. Questions to ask;

-what went well

-what did not go as well

-what was my best perofrmance and why

-what was my worst performance and why

-if I could change anything abiut the last season what would it be

-going forwards, what would I want to keep form the last seaon

These general answers will form the basis of what you might want to do in preparation for the next season.

If, and this is a big "IF" you are able to continue to grow and mature and stay interested in Track then there is every possibility that you will be able to compete at the D! level. Most young athletes who are very good in their youth, lose interest, get beaten by other athletes who mature later or just stop for some unknown reason or interest. But the odds favor you if you can maintain your interest.
