You all need to LISTEN to Coach Budd. Jessica was a Soccer player and Basketball player while at East Longmeadow.
We tried to encourage her to do Indoor....she really did not play much ( for years).
We tried to have her run Cross Country. While she did play, she shunned the idea of running distance.
We tried to get her to run distance rather than sprints...she simply would not buy in.
Then, her Senior year (AFTER basketball season), she tells me that she would much rather run Track and Field in college.
She goes to Bridgewater State as a walk on. She makes the team.
They make her do Indoor...she LOVED it!
They wanted her to run Cross Country...she had a great deal of success.
JESSICA HAYWOOD
Became the schools unsung hero her Senior year along with some Team titles
Moral of story...LISTEN to Coach Budd!
If you have a passion for another sport and are REALLY good, I won't tell you to leave it.
BUT, if you are still trying to figure out your sports future...there is ALWAYS something for you in our sport! REMEMBER THAT!
