Athletics track manager struggles: ‘Hopefully these things remind us how bad we need each other…
The manager of an athletics track was feeling the weight of the world on his shoulders. The once bustling venue, alive
with the rhythm of runners and the thud of feet on the track, now sat eerily quiet. The pandemic had taken its toll,
draining the track of its energy and vitality.
As he gazed out at the empty lanes, the manager couldn’t help but feel a pang of sadness. This track was more than
just a place for exercise; it was a community hub, a gathering place where people came together to pursue their
passions and support one another.
But now, with restrictions in place and fear looming large, the track stood deserted, a stark reminder of the
challenges they faced. Yet, amidst the silence, the manager found solace in the hope that these difficult times would
serve as a wake-up call, a reminder of the importance of community and connection.
He realized that in times of crisis, it’s easy to forget how much we rely on each other. Whether it’s the athletes who
find motivation in each other’s presence or the staff who work tirelessly behind the scenes, everyone plays a part in
keeping the track running smoothly.
As he pondered this, the manager felt a renewed sense of purpose. Yes, times were tough, but they were also an
opportunity to come together and support one another. Whether it was through virtual meetups, online coaching
sessions, or simply checking in on one another, they could find ways to stay connected and keep the spirit of the
track alive.
And so, with determination in his heart, the manager vowed to weather the storm and emerge stronger on the other
side. For in the end, it wasn’t just about the track itself, but the people who made it a home.
