WINGS – COACH’S CORNER

 

2015 IS A YEAR THAT WILL BE FULL OF MEMORIES FOR THE WINGS OF OMAHA AND THE WINGS OF MOON TRACK CLUBS

 

IT IS WITH GREAT PLEASURE I WITNESS BOTH CLUBS STILL GROWING AND GOING STRONG….

 

I WAS ABLE TO BE INVOLVED THE WINGS OF OMAHA TRACK MEET AT NORTHWEST HIGH SCHOOL A FEW WEEKS AGO AND THE 4X400  RELAY TEAMS REALLY GOT ME EXCITED…

 

IN MY POSITION AS VICE PRESIDENT OF NEBRASKA AND REGION 8 COORDINATOR I WILL SEE YOU ALL AGAIN IN JULY AT IOWA STATE FOR THE REGION 8 CHAMPIONSHIP MEET.

 

AND OF COURSE, WE WILL ALL (BOTH CLUBS) MEET AT THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP IN LATE JULY IN FLORIDA….AND AS I TRY EACH YEAR I PLAN TO TAKE PHOTOS WITH BOTH CLUBS

 

THE COMMITMENT OF THE COACHES TO YOUR DEVELOPMENT IS NOT TAKEN LIGHTLY….HEAD COACH FROM WINGS OF MOON-COACH JOE WAS ONE OF THE FIRST COACHES WE HAD IN THE 90s AND HEAD COACH FROM WINGS OF OMAHA-COACH TONY WAS ONE OF THE FIRST COACHES IN THE 2000s….BOTH HAVE CONTINUED THE PRINCIPLES THAT WINGS WERE SET UP WITH….
DEVELOPING YOUNG BOYS AND GIRLS INTO YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN EMPHASIZING NOT THOSE WHO RAN THE FASTEST OR JUMP THE HIGHEST OR THE LONGEST OR THOSE WHO THREW THE FARTHEST BUT THOSE WHO DID THEIR BEST…

 

A MEASUREMENT I USE TO GAGE OUR SUCCESS IS THE NUMBER OF WINGS GOING ON TO COLLEGE OR TECHNICAL TRAINING OR THE MILITARY AND (1) BEING SUCCESSFUL  (2) COMING BACK TO ASSIST THE CLUB AND (3) BEING A POSITIVE ROLE MODEL IN OUR COMMUNITIES, CITIES AND COUNTRY.

 

I AM PROUD OF YOU ALL AND I WISH YOU SUCCESS THIS SEASON BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY I WISH YOU LEARN AND HAVE FUN..
GO WINGS
