Important “Family Business” • Track & Field is the most diverse sport with very diverse individuals • 400+ Athletes, Coaches, Parents = High possibility of miscommunication/conflict • Athletes: Don’t have to be best friends with everyone, but must respect/get along with everyone. • Parents: encourage athletes to go outside “comfort zone”

  8. Expectations in Dealings with “Everyday” Conflicts • Presume Good Will (do not be easily offended) • If something occurs in which you are offended/upset or feel unsafe: • Address issue calmly, promptly and with the individual first. • If not resolved, speak with coaches for further action. • If issue is resolved, let it go and move on. Do not hold grudges.
