Cross country might not be the most glamorous of sports, but I have no greater respect than for the athlete that gets out there and challenges himself (or herself) to be their best. <br /><br />"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."Dan Tnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31292861.post-85790918443430085712019-01-12T09:02:56.941-08:002019-01-12T09:02:56.941-08:00"Sports don't build character, they revea..."Sports don't build character, they reveal it." - Heywood Hale BrounAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31292861.post-12071303015093402482019-01-11T14:11:13.959-08:002019-01-11T14:11:13.959-08:00Several quotes from famous people.

A test of faith, belief, will, and trust in one's self. So hardcore that it needs a category all to itself to define the pain. When game players criticize, it's because they aren't willing to understand, not because they're stronger. Running is more than a sport; it's a lifestyle. If you have to ask us why we run, you'll never understand, so just accept. <br /><br />Jessica PropstAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31292861.post-22417297614426078102012-05-31T13:24:49.956-07:002012-05-31T13:24:49.956-07:00The Nike ad "JUST DO IT"The Nike ad "JUST DO IT"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31292861.post-89501118490590615132012-05-31T09:27:49.007-07:002012-05-31T09:27:49.007-07:00"Don't look back, leave it all on the tra..."Don't look back, leave it all on the track" - Tucker, Stripes' coach in Racing StripesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31292861.post-75100423309639744302012-05-31T09:21:03.602-07:002012-05-31T09:21:03.602-07:00Since many of these have been quotes from Prefonta...Since many of these have been quotes from Prefontane here are a few from his coach Bill Bowerman:<br /><br />"The magic is in the man, not the 100 miles." <br /><br />"There's no such thing as bad weather, just soft people."<br /><br />"A teacher is never too smart to learn from his pupils.
