Should I join Cross Country??
Okay, so I'm going to be a sophomore this year in high school, and as a freshman i only played soccer. My older sister who graduated in 07 did xc and it looked like a lot of fun. So this year I thought that I would give it a try, but i kinda suck at running. I can only run 2 miles without stopping and the races are 2 and 1/2. They also run 6 miles a day, everyday, so I'll ask you this:
Should I go out for xc so i don't end up regretting it when I'm older?
Or should i not, because i would suck badly, and probably screw everything up for our team?

Its really up to you. I was a former runner and went to many camps and universities. I think you should only play it if you really like it, because otherwise you wont do well and you will hate it too. If you dont like it I would suggest soccer or another sport. If your not good at it, I dont think you should do it either. Some people say do whatever you like, but Im not like that. You are going to be good at a certain sport, whatever sport that utilizes your strengths, and if your not good at it, your never going to reach a certain level no matter how much you train. Bottom line--only do it if you really like it and dont kid yourself into believing you like it.

I'm a freshman, and I joined nervously this year. (we run all summer)
I love it, so, so, so, much! Really, i have hated other sports just because of lousy coaches, boring drills, mean/very competetive girls, etc.
But the XC team gets along so well! And theres loads of team bonding.
Also, you improve so much. You will not suck, and i am sure you don't now. Don't get discouraged by your first few practices. It all gets easier.
By the way, you can't screw up for the team! :] The more runners the better! And the different speed ranges are good, you can beat runners your pace from other teams, and bump the whole team up. Have fun, hope this helped!
