Team

           Running as part of a team in either cross country or track is a good way to meet new people who have some of the same interests as you. The same interest being that they are crazy and enjoy running long distances like you do.


            Most of your teammates on your cross country team or track team enjoy running because they are out for that sport but there may be lots of other similarities between the activities that your teammates also enjoy. For example a lot of the runners on my cross country team enjoy knitting. I also enjoy knitting and some of my teammates have started a knitting club. The knitting club is open to anyone at school but the majority of the people who participate in knitting club are also on the cross country team. Your teammates will also understand the problems that runners face like always wanting to eat a lot. There are still some differences between what the different cross country runners enjoy but you will find differences between you and any of the friends you have.


            All the great people on my cross country and track team are one of the main reasons that I continue to do the sport and one of the reasons I show up to practice every day.  Cross country and track practice can be very hard and difficult and having great people on your team that you enjoy spending time with helps to make the experience so much better.


            Having other people on your team who join you with some of the things you enjoy doing also helps to motivate you. If I wasn’t in cross country or track I probably wouldn’t run every day like I do when I am in the sports.  Because you are part of a team you don’t want to let your teammates down so that motivates you to work hard so you don’t let down your team.


         So basically joining an athletic team is not only a great and amazing way to do something you enjoy with other people who also enjoy it but is also a great for meeting new people that share some of the same interests as you do. If you get the chance or have the time, I suggest you join a sports team or club that interests you because it presents you with an opportunity to not only get to do something you enjoy but also a chance to meet new people who could end up being your best friend.
