SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT . Catch this amazing Canadian Sprinter- Crystal Emmanuel OLY on our Eclipse Track & Field Club Zoom Training tonight @ 7pm! DM me for the link! @athleticscanada @crysyboo @athleticsont @eclipsetrackandfieldclub Biography:... Crystal Emmanuel made her Olympic debut at London 2012 where she made it to the semifinals of the 200m. Four years later at Rio 2016, she competed in all three sprint events. A 200m semifinalist once again, she also finished seventh with the 4x100m relay. Emmanuel has been one of Canada’s top sprinters over the last few years. At the 2011 Canadian Championships she became the first woman to win both the 100m and 200m since 2003. In 2012 she won the 200m and was second in the 100m. In 2013, she reversed her results, winning the 100m and finishing second in the 200m. She replicated those results in 2014. She set her 100m personal best at 11.27 seconds in finishing second at the 2015 Canadian Championships, where she was also second in the 200m. Emmanuel ran the lead-off leg for the 4x100m relay at the 2013 IAAF World Championships where Canada finished sixth in national record time of 42.99 seconds. She led off again at the 2015 IAAF World Relays where Canada finished fourth, setting another national record of 42.85 seconds and qualifying Canada for the 4x100m relay at Rio 2016. Emmanuel and the 4x100m relay team went on to win bronze at the 2015 Pan Am Games in Toronto before posting another sixth-place finish at the IAAF World Championships where they lowered the national record to 42.60 seconds. In July 2017, Emmanuel broke a 34-year-old Canadian record in the 200m, winning a meet in Ireland in a time of 22.50. She went on to race the 200m final at the 2017 IAAF World Championships. . . #crystalemmanuel #olympian #mentor #leader #empoweringwomen #empoweringyouth #athlete #canadian #incredible #recordholder #teamcanada #sprinter #tokyo2021 #simplythebest #zoom #grateful #impact #trackandfield #eclipsetrackandfieldclub #coachcathybarry

I thought I’d update you on this book! Finished reading it a while ago and have since implemented its teaching. Not only that it’s a great visual for my athletes! Very informative, easy to read, great tips and focus for coaches. I would recommend this in your coaching arsenal of tools! . . #greatbook #thescienceofspeed #tomtellez #carllewis #reading #coaching #knowledgeispower #teading #education #alwaysimproving #recommended #trackandfield #running #sprinting #tools #eclipsetrackandfieldclub #mechanics #technique #coachcathybarry

I recently sent out a newsletter to all of my members providing to them an option to choose from five different topics and write an essay. The topics ranged from growth to creating an advantage for yourself to being patient to success and weaknesses and strengths. All I asked for was for athletes to write their thoughts on one of these topics as it related to them to express themselves and their experiences straight from the heart. this is the first piece that I’ve receive...d. It is by Zion who is six years old. I wanted to commend and congratulate Zion on a beautiful piece. Eclipse Track & Field Club is not just a sports performance club, a track and field club, a speed training club....it is a way of life, a family, a place where we teach kids how to be future leaders and good members of their communities. I am so proud of what we’ve built together and the support that each member provides to each other. . . #reachforthestars #proudcoach #athletes #touchinglives #buildingcommunity #changeforthebetter #empoweringothers #leaders #inspirational #eclipsetrackandfieldclub #family #team See more

High-performance athletes are on an indoor track to the Olympics and Paralympics, thanks to exemption By Kevin McGran Staff Reporter Wed., Nov. 11, 2020 Ontario’s Olympic and Paralympic hopefuls received good news this week when the province allowed an exemption for high-performance athletes to continue to train despite restrictions for others as governments across the country fight the coronavirus pandemic.... That’s terrific news, said Anne Merklinger, the chief executive officer of Own The Podium. Ontario joins Quebec and B.C. in allowing athletes who are preparing for the 2021 Summer Games in Tokyo and the 2022 Winter Games in Beijing to continue training indoors. ARTICLE CONTINUED BELOW The guidelines that are developed by local, provincial and federal health authorities have to be respected, and that’s what’s happening in sport at the high-performance level, said Merklinger. Around Toronto, it means places like the Toronto Pan-Am Sports Centre in Scarborough, Canadian Sports Institute Ontario’s field house for wheelchair basketball and rugby, the velodrome in Milton, and the Downsview facility for beach volleyball are up and running. The sports are being responsible in following protocols and this will allow athletes at the high-performance level to know they can carry on doing what they need to do in order to be successful, said John Atkinson, the high-performance director and national coach of Swimming Canada and a member of a national Return to Sport task force. Montreal’s International Sports Institute and the University of British Columbia’s aquatic centre are also open to high-performance athletes thanks to exemptions in Quebec and B.C. ARTICLE CONTINUED BELOW Own The Podium, the Canadian Olympic Committee and the various national sports bodies have been lobbying the various levels of government for allowances to continue to train. Part of that was developing strict protocols to mitigate the risk of the transmission of the virus. #highperformance #athletes #trackandfield #training #indoortrack #canada #olympics #ontario #paraolympics #sports #exemption #covid_19 #protocols #goodnews #eclipsetrackandfieldclub #news

While we may be challenged and life as we know it different, there’s so many good things we just never took time for and so many new things yet to be discovered. All it takes is your outlook and mindset. #coachcathybarry #eclipsetrackandfieldclub #faith #kindness #goodwill #mindset #positivity #outlook #freedom #choice
