ASSIGNMENT:
text head coach a performance statement
*a performance statement is a simple, yet specific, form of positive self-talk that identifies the process of success for you, or what it takes for you to perform at your best.  To construct your personal performance statement, imagine yourself as your coach, and you, the runner, are one minute away from toeing the line in the most important race of your career.  What are the last words of advice that you, the coach, gives to you, the runner?  This will serve as your first "rough draft" at a performance statement for yourself.
