Time for an Update!
It’s been a while since I’ve written a blog post, so it’s time for an update. Since my last post, I’ve done a third Team Steve Speed & Hurdle Camp. This one – the third one – took place on the weekend of June 9-10 at Woodlawn School in Mooresville, NC. While we didn’t have as many athletes as we did at the first two camps, the quality of the work was at an all-time high. Despite the 90-degree temperatures, we were able to pack a lot of drilling, block work, and long-hurdle work into those days. Thanks to coaches Hector Cotto, Kevin Howell, and Garrison Rountree for their invaluable assistance and instruction. There are plenty of photos from the camp, which can be found here on the hurdlesfirst facebook page.
Meanwhile, I’ve been coaching all summer long, and have four hurdlers who will be competing at the USAT Junior Olympic Nationals, which will take place less than two hours from where I live, at NC A&T University in Greensboro, NC. If you’ll be there, I’ll see you there.
