st tribune may 51993 pis sdss athletes response to relay meet is disappointing its enough to make julian franklin ged stonehouse and dave connell not to mention a couple of dozen others shake their heads in disbelief for surely the above men tioned patron saints of the stouf- fville community track have got to be more than a tad disillu sioned at the absence of interest shown in the track to this point by the student body at stouf- fville district secondary school where are all those kids who willingly fired off the hundreds of letters of support that young julian hoisted into the trunk of my car that memorable night back in 1990 when he shamed the york trustees into giving the stouffville school the financial commitment that made the track facility possible the fact that good old sdss couldnt even field a team for its own relay meet this thursday is disappointing talking to con nell and local track enthusiast fred robbins stouffvilles answer to that battery compa- nys bunny that keeps on going and going two things quickly sport notes attention junior golfers memberships available at sleepy fi hollow golf s country club ages ii 19 years for further info call 6402426 ecame clear first that school board cut backs have soured the attitudes of high school coaches and ath letes alike towards things athlet ic and second that this towns illustrious youths of all ages arent prepared to pay the price with regards to the disciplined training required in track and field if they think they cant win the first item that of the hard economic times is a reality everywhere and it has surely affected school athletic pro grams these are sad times he told me recently economic cutbacks are hurting the athletics pro gram it can make for a lack of interest in both the students and the coaches and also the kids have got so many other things that they do today athlete of the week cleaning up the world starts at hme tim mcneil scored the winning goal for the stouffville clippers

centre lounge uxbridge tribune atuxposition drop by our booth and say hello everyone reads the tribune 59 albert st uxbridge 8529741 but the second the instant gratification factor doesnt speak well for a generation of young- steis who had better quickly come to the realization they are going to have to work twice as hard to get what their parents took for granted in this uncer tain world i think some of the kids saw those pickering high school ath letes whizzing by them at last years relay meet and figured theres just no way they could ever compete connell said robbins a former high school track star whose records still stand concurred the kids just dont want to train hard if they think theyre just going to get beat robbins feels the key lies in getting to the kids when they are in grades 4 and 5in recent years he has been working with interested students at orchard park ps where his own chil dren attend in an attempt to plant the seed the results have spoken for themselves luke anderson jonathan tamlin and peter reed a trio of boys he coached at the public school level have gone on to be a part of the sdss midget boys cross country team which has won the york region crown the past two years the cross country program has always been one of connells own pet projects so with he and rob bins working in tandem the results have been quite evident robbins thinks its a matter of adult coaches acting as motiva tors and role models for the kids theres interest out there but youve got to go and shake the bushes he said youve got to get them when theyre young youve got to just get them to want to do their best and not worry about winning theyve got to understand that if they work hard they cant help but get better and ultimately its the coaches who can help them discover what their best actually is im confident it will happen here in stouffville he added it will take a few years but the kids have to understand that olympic champions arent made in one year michael smith canadian olympic track star took 10 years to get to where he is today and the track club weve started here in town should help develop interest as well amen for the best in horse rider for your
