They desire to be active, but the challenge is how to stay active when you have to stay at home, work out by yourself and have limited equipment and facilities. Track and Field Self-Guided Workouts: Motivation and Activities contains multiple ideas, activities and games that can be used to create enjoyable and productive practice sessions that athletes can do alone, without a team and structured environment. It also includes motivational stories of track and field athletes who overcame hardship and diversity to succeed.
The numerous track and field games help teach the fundamentals and focus on skills required to become a more compete track and field athlete. The games are particularly useful for beginning and intermediate athletes and can be adapted to accommodate more traditional training with experienced athletes. The exercises are designed to challenge athletes and keep them active, motivated and thoroughly involved. The games can be competitive and fun to play and they can be easily adapted to different ages and abilities. Athletes respond favorably to activities in which they are excited and enthused about.
