PREPARATION FOR A STRENUOUS SEASON.

What it takes to be an MTSU Track & Field Athlete.

Many sports once again find their relevancy around this time of year. Namely, America's favorite sport; football. Though many football players are gearing up for their next big game. Track & Field athletes are also finding their groove; to prepare themselves both mentally and physically for the upcoming indoor season.

A runner's playground.

The moment she steps foot on this track it becomes her territory. Any opponent that lines up with her is sure to eat her dust. This is only the beginning of a great season.

Fiery eyes, ready for what's next.

If there is one word I would use to describe her; it would be intensity. Even down to way she stretches, she has a certain level of intensity about her. This section of her regimen is arguably the most important.

Off like a rocket.

Just like that, this young runner wastes no time putting those leg muscles to good use. With each stride she continues to build momentum. I feel sorry for anyone who would want to race against her.

Eyes on the Prize
I have never seen an athlete so laser focused. With her eyes affixed on the distant finish line. Alls she can do is push through.

Activating the machine.

In order to properly prepare for her run soon to come. It is imperative that she gets loose as much as possible. This gives her the ability to move more fluid while sprinting.
