Im on varsity track and, I'm going to be doing the 100m, the 4x1 (as the anchor), and the long jump. This is my first year doing track (ive always done baseball instead) but I am pretty good. Yesterday, I raced against some of the fastest people at the 100m, and apparently got an 11.2.. I dont know if this is 100% accurate but a friend timed it with the coaches stopwatch. How can I mentally prepare myself before the meet to perform my best, should I listen to loud music? Also, if anyone has any tips on how to get BETTER for the future at the 100, and 4x1, that would also be appreciated
 
i did track last year, and what helped me was to STAY CALM!
don't sike yourself out. when your not doing a race keep your mind busy, and dont think about the upcoming race too much, and do alot of stretching. it will help you take bigger strides for longer distances, and will prevent muscle damage, and makes you feel more comfortable when running a race. [ive learned from experience :p ]

to get better, just keep pn running! i improved alot over the whole season with my times and endurance. and be sure to run over spring break, some of my team mates didnt and it really hurt them; its like starting the season over again. and stay hydrated, drink lots of water, expecially when it gets really hot out.

good luck!
:D
