COACH HOLT
It was a great week! Our Tennis and Track squads got off to solid starts to their seasons. The entire coaching staff is proud of their accomplishments. Our off-season guys are working hard and we talked to them a lot about ways to finish the year strong.
​
Grade Check - Our next grade check is next week. All student/athletes will be evaluated next Friday (3/8)
Character - Do you influence others to be great? We will talk to the guys about being mindful of their actions and choices. Those decisions can have a heavy impact on how their teammates and coaches perceive them.
Physicals - It's that time of year again, to start thinking about getting a physical for 9th grade athletics. Please see the attached flier for dates that McKinney ISD will be offering physicals for next year. If you plan to not get the physical at one of the high schools, please note it must be dated AFTER APRIL 1st and it MUST be on the official MISD physical form. Those forms will be passed out as we get closer to April.
IMPORTANT : Current 8th graders will NOT turn physicals in to me. They will need to travel with them to the HS they go to.
Summer PC - Summer will be here before you know it. Registration is already available for our Summer PC program. It's a fantastic way to stay in shape, stay connected, and be prepared for the next school year. We highly recommend this program! If interested, please see the link below and find the HS your son is zoned for.

Track and Tennis are in full-effect. Job well done to all athletes who competed in their first match and meet this Tuesday and Thursday. Tennis fell short to Prosper Hays, but they look forward to a better week next week. Our track team came out in 3rd place. We have a small team and every event counts!
We need our parents help this Thursday. I know your kids want to go out and support their peers at the Track Meet next Thursday. They must have an adult in attendance, so what better way to allow them to go watch their friends. Please volunteer an hour of your time for our Athletics program. We are hosting the meet so we are in charge of concessions. We appreciate your help and thank you in advance.
Please continue to remind them to have their outerwear and water bottles on a daily basis.

Character - Positive Decision Making
This week's character topic was about making positive decisions. Our choices have a direct impact on so many things in our lives. There are always better social options than underage partying and drinking. Surround yourself with people who make you a better person, and be that person to someone else. On and off of the court, your decisions ultimately shape the type of athlete and person you are. Exercise caution when making your daily decisions and strive to set a great example to those around you.
