What? Unfortunately, many people shy away from track and field because they perceive it's too "competitive." Actually, the only person you truly compete against is yourself, which is fun because - get this - YOU have a personal stake in evolving your mind and body to realize your ultimate potential! This is why track and field is unique, because your individual growth is the ultimate objective. There is and will always be someone younger or older, faster or slower, taller or shorter, stronger or weaker, or yada, yada, yada; however, there is only one YOU! At The Track Club, we want to help YOU to realize your mental and physical potential, and we'll have fun doing so!
