Will it matter if I can't run well at field hockey practice?

Question

Sat. is field hockey practice and I can only run a 1/4 mile. Will I embarrass myself or just do my best? Also can I improve by then?

Answer 1

with my team- we always run. last year when i started i couldnt run for my life. we always ran the mile and by the end of the year i got used to it.

i think that you should just push yourself and set limits. like go: ok im going to walk the next lap- run half of this lap...and so on.

if you want to improve...just try running around your house, neighborhood, on a tredmill- etc.

im sure you will do fine and just try your best- coaches love that :)
