Feel The Heat Track Club
Feel The Heat Track Club (FTHTC) Club #48-0277
was formed to provide a competitive environment for track and field, long distance, and
triathlon athletes who wish to compete at the local, national, and international levels. FTHTC is a Club for youth, high school,
college, and post collegiate runners to
continue training and competing after their season or college career comes to
an end.
This will make their transition from
Elementary to Junior High to High School to College and finally, long-term running a lot easier than
if they were to train on their own.
Sub-masters and Masters Athletes
are a big part of our club as well. Our focal point is the development of
SPEED as our primary training and racing
goal for all events and distances.The club focuses on
creating an atmosphere that is high in competitive spirit, discipline and learning, while at the same time providing a
friendly, fun filled, and stress free environment.
The club was formed to compete at a high
level, but not at the detriment of the athletes’ mental or physical well-being. We want our athletes to enjoy running,
jumping, swimming, biking and throwing while at the same time training and
competing at their highest-level possible. This requires a delicate but
attainable balance. We DO NOT want any
of our club members to feel that they are in an intimidating environment. All club members, coaches and parents will
support one another to the fullest extent possible. The coaches, the administrators, and athletes
will commit to each other; this in turn
will ensure that the club remains a permanent fixture in the community.
We will TRAIN HARD, COMPETE HARD, REST HARD, and HAVE FUN while doing
it! The ultimate goal is not only the
development of World and National Class athletes, but also the development of each individual club member to
achieve their own Personal Goals. The
club will be a center of information for
training, upcoming meets, and running events, as well as health and fitness related issues.
Our Pledge – Athletes, Administrators,
Coaches & Parents
We pledge to our athletes, the local,
national and international communities and to each other to:
* Deliver consistent, quality, professional,
responsible and appropriate training to all our athletes
* Treat each individual athlete as a unique
individual with understanding, integrity,
honor, patience and respect
* Put the athletes’ best interest first
* Listen to the athlete
* Train on a consistent basis
* Respect those we compete against
* Recognize and acknowledge our sponsors
* Respect the Track & Field officials
* Show appreciation to the fans who come out
to support us
* Learn, develop personally and have fun
FTHTC was inspired by the vision of Rawle Crichlow, who was
frustrated by the lack of organized
Track Clubs in the Phoenix Metropolitan area
