As fall sports come to a close across the school, athletes look back on their performances throughout the season. Players can almost always find something to criticize in every game, practice, or meet. However, the one thing that will improve performance for every player in every sport time and time again is effort. Senior cross country runner, Lainey Parmeley, can attest to this.
“[One thing I’ve learned this season is that] you have to put 100% effort into it, you have to give it your all.” Parmeley said, “Otherwise, it’s not worth it.”
Even with no next high school season, senior athletes can still find ways to apply this principle to other areas of their lives. Whether that be in sports or their day to day activities, giving it your all is the one way to improve effort across the board.
