Help SHHS Cross Country Get Running
Funded Jan 8, 2024The recent donations of a new canopy, weight vests, cooler, foldable benches, and wagons have made a tremendous impact on our cross country program, enhancing the overall experience for both coaches and student-athletes. The new canopy provides much-needed shade during training sessions and competitions, ensuring that our athletes can perform at their best without the constraints of harsh weather conditions. The addition of weight vests has allowed us to incorporate resistance training into our workouts, helping to build strength and endurance. The cooler and foldable benches have improved our ability to efficiently organize and execute team events, creating a more comfortable and organized environment for our athletes. The wagons have proven invaluable for transporting equipment and supplies, streamlining our logistical operations and allowing us to focus more on the training itself.
When the students first saw the new materials, their reactions were overwhelmingly positive. The excitement and gratitude were palpable as they realized the significant enhancements to our training setup. The improved facilities not only boosted their morale but also instilled a sense of pride and commitment to the program. The donors who contributed to these resources had a direct impact on our athletes' daily experiences, providing them with the tools they need to excel in their sport.
Looking ahead, the next steps for our students involve integrating these new resources into their training routines to maximize their benefits. We are currently developing a project that incorporates the weight vests into a specialized training program, aiming to enhance the team's overall performance and endurance. The students are eagerly embracing these advancements, and we are confident that the continued support from our donors will propel our cross country program to new heights. The contributions have not only improved our current training environment but have also set the stage for future successes and achievements.”

Funded Nov 6, 2017We at Sam Houston MSTC thank you so much for the support you've given us this year. The bags donated to us were exactly what we needed. My student athletes were overjoyed when they saw the new backpacks. They felt like having matching backpacks for everyone made them feel more like a team and really boosted their motivation and drive.
My athletes are not only using their backpacks for their athletic gear but some of them have also used the backpacks for their school computers and homework as well. Some of my athletes grades have actually increased because they now have a way to keep all of their school papers organized and can bring all their materials to class.
Although the backpacks are a great help, we still have a few student athletes without them and I will continue my work to get everyone a bag. My next step in improving the school's soccer program will be to acquire up-to-date practice equipment such as cones, hurdles, ladders, and mini goals to work on my student athletes conditioning and ball skills.”
