Reviews from you
Never in my life did I think I would be capable of participating in events like this. Coach Shawn not only prepared me fitness-wise, but also gave me the mental toughness to not give up. He believed in my 100% and I could never thank him enough.
This program is about more than just running. The coaches care about developing the athlete as a whole person, not just their athletic ability.
Arkansas Track Club has made running even more fun and fulfilling than I ever imagined. I'm becoming stronger, getting out of my comfort zone, loving the experience alongside this team.
I used to be constantly injured while running at high school. When I made the transition to ARTC I was worried I would continue to have these injuries. The opposite ended up being true. So much emphasis is put on proper training sessions and proper recovery from training that my injuries have all subsided completely and I have been injury free since.. The coaches spent time with me early when I joined teaching and listening to past issues.
