Athletes Should Train For Six Weeks Period To Condition Properly
After First Tryouts, Work Falls Until Nature Has Time to Build System
By Edgar L. Hollis
By Edgard i. H. Athletics
To be successful, athletics one must go the extra step of training of training which takes not less than six weeks of work, according to prominent coaches. If a man is out of condition that time must be lengthened. Some events in a track meet require much more and intensive training that obliges.
A man will work an event at the start of training and may make remarkable time the first trial he makes. The next two weeks may find a decided drop in his work. The first period of training learns that, as the man, as he is not used to the work. His muscles become sore but after a few weeks of training mind and muscle begin a wonderful sort of team work, his whole system will start to improve both the work and better. Training hurts an athlete temporarily at first, but improves it in a period of time.

In an athlete cannot prepare for a distance race in a short time. He must undergo a 6-weeks siege of honest effort in which he must keep regular hours and not use tobacco in any form. The immediate injury to a player is not, not broken, but repeated laps cause disastrous slumps in winning scores.
The result of a race cannot be directly attributed to the action of the man on the day of the race, but to the whole routine of his training. He does not make or break himself in a day, but through a period of time.
Some great athletes do little training, but they are few. The reason for their good work, although poorly trained, is their temperament and their ability to put forth that extra effort which no one can describe after they have "shot their bolt" so to speak. These athletics cause dissention and injure teams in many cases because they influence the men who are making track men through effort only.
To make a good track man, mind and physical co-ordination is necessary. A man will slump in weight and in his work faster from mental worries than physical breakovers in training. A man can worry off more time than he needs of time than he can work off on the track. Three pounds is the maximum to be worked off in a meet, as a rule, but three times that amount can be lost
through worry in a short space time.
Athletes are temperamental, according to veteran coaches, and have to be handled with the care of a prized animal. They have their off days and worry about their work. The athlete who worries is more inconsistent than the one who goes into his event with a "show me" spirit. Coaches say that once beaten, many athletes allow another to keep the "Indian sign" on them, and in later meets fall down when running against the same man.
Physical and mental training on the part of athletes and jockeying on the part of the coaches, make winning easier. It is essential, according to the best authorities
