Question

Answer 1

No talk to the coach tell him you want to get better, He will get you on  a good training plan and you will gain your conditioning. The meets in the fall will also help you get better, Not only will you get stronger, but you will learn how to race mentally. Every season will make you better.

Answer 2

Not really, if you can come up with a good training programme. To achieve that, play less, study more, run more.

Answer 3

If its your senior year, then it might be too late to ever get to a point of being competitive.  However, if your a junior or underclassman, then I would definitely join.  It will pay tremendous dividends in the next xc season(s)...

Answer 4

No you should try it. It may be hard at first but if you are  dedicated and practice hard you'll see improvements. I do xc and have never been that great but I worked hard and  pushed myself and I just got back from my first practice and I feel  great.  XC is a great sport and teams are very supportive so you go for it!
