Last week on our weekly conference call, attendees were surprised by the appearance of Angela Duckworth–the grit legend herself!  Dr. Duckworth joined MVTF for a discussion of her own meandering journey to find her calling, answering some questions about grit (she says grit is sustained passion and perseverance toward very long term goals), and addressing the challenges in addressing cultural norms–including a frank discussion of some of the personal challenges she faced when her career path deviated from her father’s plans for her.  Dr. Duckworth took the time on her own birthday to call in and talk to Monta Vista!  It was a memorable meeting for all of us.
Don’t miss this Friday’s Zoom meeting.  In addition to our usual review of the the week’s training schedule, we are planning to talk about the upcoming team banquet and awards voting.  
Weekly Trainer Calls
Javier and Coach Flatow will host virtual training room sessions every Monday for the next few weeks, from 2pm to 3pm.  These Zoom sessions will be open sessions for any track or cross country athlete to call in and discuss health and fitness issues.  If you have a sore spot, or a some tightness, or a fall and want to discuss what to do, or if you just want some advice on exercises or stretches to work on a perceived weakness, this is your time to call in, ask your questions and get some advice.  We will try this for a couple weeks and if it feels like these sessions are useful, we will keep this going longer.  We do understand that athletes with a first period will not be able to join until 2:30; call in when you can.
Kirk Flatow is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
