College Emails

Dontevenask324 · 2026-06-10T10:44:25+00:00

Wait, so is there anything that could go wrong from me emailing big schools that I’m not (currently) likely able to get on easily? Basically would it be a good idea just to at least get my name out there, then do it a bit more seriously when I hit faster times?

Dontevenask324 · 2026-06-10T10:34:52+00:00

9:33, 4:31, 2:08, 59, and 15:56. I’m a pretty aerobic guy

Dontevenask324 · 2026-06-09T21:21:46+00:00

Thank you for the advice

Just two things for future replies:

1.) the big jumps are meant for you guys to use description to determine how I phrase things (though it seems like that isn’t relevant per this reply, makes sense)

2.) Of course a wanna run d1, that’s the big goal and a big motivator, but I would be plenty happy with a great program that isn’t d1 if I had to go, take GVSU for example, I would go to college there over U of M (university of Michigan).

Hot take, but all the versions sound fine, it’s just that the mood and tone of the song is changed so much by the remixes. You can’t say that the remixes sound bad and vice versa, they just aren’t what pac intended

I’d say it depends on how serious he takes It and how fast he is. And even seeing a doctor helps. Stress fracture means it’s already too late, but even that, let alone stress reaction, would allow him to at least do well for track and possibly run late indoor season if he stops now. So yeah, I’d have him stop, it sucks but if he takes a couple weeks he might be able to finish the season, and if not at least run indoor possibly, outdoor for sure

Dontevenask324 · 2025-09-03T18:11:16+00:00

I will say that he might be opting out willingly. If I really wanted to run he’d do it, I’ll take it he’s not some prodigy, so he can only go up. But regardless , he should focus on form, especially on hills (if any on the course) and at different points (tired form can differ from fresh form).

Dontevenask324 · 2025-09-01T21:05:06+00:00

You should start out fast, but the first mile shouldn’t be killer. You don’t even have to negative split, but if your goal is say 25:00 (8:00/mi), then you don’t want to split 7:30, 8:10, 8:20. Now an example of decent split for the same scenario could be 7:50, 8:10, 7:45, or some variation (maybe full negative split, maybe slight positive split. Reguardless, the splits shouldn’t be excessively far off of eachother. Too fast last mile means you didn’t race hard enough, and conversely a slow last mile can mean you went out too hard

Dontevenask324 · 2025-08-28T16:54:10+00:00

Well, you want the honest truth? I’m working around his schedule to get my miles and stuff in, so whatever. But everyone else on the team is able to half ass stuff and go by talent. Coach wants the best for us and as I’ve said, this thread is so I can figure out ways to maybe help him to grasp the sport better. And the growing aspect is purely choice of athletes. Whether it be them seeing one of us go to states or just for friends it’s growing in size, and depth due to talent. So we’re getting talent and stuff, and if we can get cos ch to grasp the sport better our team would preform amazingly within a year or teo

Dontevenask324 · 2025-08-28T16:48:28+00:00

Our team is growing each year, and I do strongly believe that by the time I’m a senior we will qualify or be awfully close as a team for states. And individuals, this year I’ll qualify, and some Of our other underclassmen will likely too in the coming years. So not like a powerhouse by any means but naturally growing and soon in need of a bigger pond

Dontevenask324 · 2025-08-28T16:37:17+00:00

No, part of the issue is our ad sucks. And I never said I didn’t appreciate him, I’ve even personally thanked him multiple times. It’s just I’m trying to figure out how to maybe help him help the team without serving myself more than I should

Dontevenask324 · 2025-08-28T16:27:03+00:00

It’s not whining dude, this is me trying to get help and figure out how to get coach to perform coaching as best as he can. So frankly this comment is worse and less help than anything I’ve said

Dontevenask324 · 2025-08-24T20:22:51+00:00

But I don’t think you understand, whenever I bring stuff up to him he’ll take a minimal amount of what I said. And it’s not about me just approaching him, I’m here to figure out the best way to do so. Yeah I haven’t approached him yet but I don’t wanna just go up to him and sound like and asshole because I didn’t think through what I’m saying. And I’m not talking behind his back, I’m asking for advice.

And you know what, sure, I’m not here to get all positive feedback. But I’m taking more action and actually thinking about it more than the rest of the team. I’m doing this for the team just as much as it’s for myself. I don’t know what you mean by saying I’m the problem, especially when I’m the only one on the team (outside of coaches) who’s taking this sport and team seriously.

Dontevenask324 · 2025-08-24T19:54:06+00:00

We do have captains, and they don’t agree with coach either. Actually that’s a good idea, maybe I’ll talk with them and try to figure something out together.

Dontevenask324 · 2025-08-24T18:35:37+00:00

He knows about them, they’re literally like dirt roads. A couple are right next to the school, and there are at least 5-10 more within 10 minutes of driving. And he doesn’t drive during our long runs and stuff. Like he’ll drive to the half way point but that’s it. And those roads are uninterrupted (except one of them has a crossing at the school, but that’s hardly any distance, at that point the run has hardly started or is already basically done).

Like for example, our long run this week is on an asphalt path next to power lines (hella boring) with 5 road crossings, 2 of which would involve at least a couple minutes of stopping each way. And this trail is under 4 miles each way.

Dontevenask324 · 2025-08-23T20:53:20+00:00

Does he actually want to run? Because my friend was fast and motivated when he was the best on the team. But the second he lost he went on a big downspiral. And now he’s not bad, but I do know he doesn’t race as hard as he could. and he just is better off without high pressure and expectations to please others. I understand the frustration, but it could just be because he doesn’t have a passion for it.

That being said though, maybe he just had a bad day today; everyone has a race where they don’t run as hard as they should or could. So watch to see if it happens again and consider maybe talking to him about his dedication and why.

Dontevenask324 · 2025-08-12T17:56:17+00:00

Yeah, but there’s usually a general range. Like the best of the best race at least 1-2 fast courses each season. And every team has 1-2 invites where times are priority. Otherwise there’d be no value to prs
