If you would like to set up a run club at your child's school or a location of your choice. Please contact me below.
Run Club is an after school or home school enrichment program to promote 8 key principles and 8 running principles. While this program is unique in its self, I have gone a step further and included a small nutrition portion. We will talk about basic nutrition dos and don'ts during our cool down or while we eat a healthy snack.
Power Words – How we talk about ourselves define who we are
Positive Thoughts – We are what we think we are
Aggressive Goals – We dare to believe anything is possible
Personal Resilience – Setbacks are welcomed as an opportunity to grow
Teamwork – We can do together what we cannot do alone
Individual Integrity – We do the right thing even when no one is watching
Community Vision – Our actions affect our community
New Beginnings – A finish line is just the beginning of a new journey
Nutrition – How to prepare your body for exercise, recover your body post exercise, and hydrate thought the dayWe do not believe in the participation trophy culture. At The Element Of Wellness, children receive a t-shirt for participating, but they must EARN their end of season medal. Each season a new goal is set, and children feel part of a team as they work towards reaching that goal. We will give plenty of second chances, but we will not give a medal to avoid tears. We teach children how to handle disappointment and use it as fuel to achieve what is really important to them. When they finally do earn that medal, it will be worth more than gold.
Practices last one hour and is divided into four (4) main areas. Warm-up and discussion, drill of the day, end of class game, cool down and closing. We want children to leave practice both sweaty and smiling.
Total Sessions
There are 16 classes total- 8 core principle and 8 running skills. Most school would like their program to run for 8 weeks with 2 classes per week.
