In those confused days, when I was running, I was God!

There must always be some things or hobbies that can redeem one's helplessness when confused, and live as one wants in the desperate swamp.

A white coach was assigned to a small remote town_McFarland because he accidentally hurt the players and had a different philosophy from the school leadership. A place dominated by black poor people, but out of love for sports or the job of coaching. When he saw the people here, running was a standard in daily life, and after listening to driving observations and understanding the speed, he felt that trail running was very suitable here. It started. The members of the cross-country running field chose to contact the school. After waiting for the principal to support and solve the recruitment of team members, they started training. After a period of time, they participated in a competition and failed. Valuable experience, he began to adjust training venues and training methods, watch relevant experience videos, and understand some points of attention in communicating with other school coaches. The training and planning went on like this, but the problem still appeared. The players needed to work due to family economic problems and had to leave the team. He could only find a way to solve the problem and let the players return to the team. Solved these problems, started to participate in the competition, and also achieved some good results. If it is said, it is still a relatively common inspirational plot, then a terrorist attack has raised his choice to the height of personal value and the realization of others' value. After winning the championship in the final competition, when other schools ran out of the olive branch , he finally chose to stay in McFarland.

This is a complete coincidence of personal and professional values. Perhaps it was through running that changed the fate of McFarland students, or it was through recognizing themselves, so that they could find self-confidence and believe that it was okay to do things. Do it first and then think about it, this is the way to deal with anxiety! At least, that's what I think. On the road of running, I have lost 20 pounds so far, and the road is still going on. I think I should really work hard to keep improving myself, calm down and study, instead of letting myself be in today's explosion of information. Stuck in a quagmire, anxious and don't know how to fix it!

When I run, I feel that the world is mine, I can imagine infinitely in my brain, and I can create the indifference of the world at will. I think this is a good state. I want to improve the pace, I want to grow well, I believe I can do it. come on! ! !

McFarland, USA quotes

  • Maria Marisol: [reading Jose Cardenas's paper] We fly like blackbirds through the orange groves, floating on a warm wind. When we run, we own the earth. The land is ours. We speak the birds' language. Not immigrant no more. No stupid Mexicans. When we run, our spirits fly. We speak to the gods. When we run, we are the gods.
