[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]my kiddo going into frosh year and has been playing soccer for years - he did the mile time trial in soccer tryouts today, and said he ran something like 4:40. Soccer coach told him you should be running cross country. Don’t really have any context, but is the coach trying to gently dump him?[/quote] I wouldn’t really overthink this. Our DD plays a field sport and lots of coaches have told her she should run track. I don’t think they are actually trying to get her to leave her sport, I think it is just a [b]euphemism for “hey, you are a good runner”.[/b][/quote] This. However, if he's only "meh' about soccer and playing it to have fun, you could at least think about XC. Have him run a 5k this weekend. Just map it out yourself, nothing formal needed. But tell him to get after it. And see what his time is. If he can do sub 18 with no real training as a freshman, then it might be worth considering switching[/quote]
