July 11, 2009, Mt. SAC Cross Country Clinic Agenda

There will be two series offered at today’s clinic featuring one presentation from each series being offered at every
session during the day.

Track 1: Beginning Series. This series is designed for the beginning or inexperienced coach. It is recommended
for coaches with five years or less of experience. Topics include the basic physiology of training a high school distance
runner, how to construct a season long training plan, how to recruit and build your team, and all the things you need
to know as a head coach to stay one step ahead of the CIF, your AD, and the principal.

Track 2: Advanced Series: This series is designed for the experienced coach who understands the basic physiology
of training distance runners and who already has organizational and recruiting skills. Speakers will be presenting
sessions that are specific and assume a common level of knowledge and a common vocabulary specific to the sport.
