What is Athletic.net... What is FAT Timing.... What is a PR?

 Wouldn't is be great if there was a place you could go to track the records you child has in their events?

Let me introduce you to Athletic.net.

But FIRST! What is F.A.T. timing?? Fully automated timing uses cameras to track official times, it means that the time is "legit" the automation companies are far more accurate than hand timing (a person with a stopwatch) 

FAT timing means there is a link where you can get updated times as soon as results are finalized. The link is usually posted by the meet host. These will be linked to the Athletic.net account your coach has set up for your athlete. You are able to go into athletic.net, create a free account and "claim" you child as an athlete to track their progress. Also you can check to see how kids their age are performing at a national level.

Athletic.net also has a page where you can track our Club and see schedules for upcoming meets and schedules. Link: https://www.athletic.net/TrackAndField/School.aspx?SchoolID=32592

When you aren't sure what is going on there are resources but you have to know and ask!

Track your athlete's performances yourself! I keep a note on phone with PR's (personal record) in the events we run so we can keep up and so she knows her goals, how can someone reach and surpass a goal without know what it is?

Keep running!
