The Race of Life
The race is about the baton, not the runners.
The relay brings out the best in everyone.
Every team member should be prepared to run in all positions
It is a good idea to practice the baton pass.
Practice until the handover becomes instinctual.
15
The Race of Life
Practice under pressure.
The last runner must be chosen carefully.
The baton exchange should occur at very close maximum speed.
A baton drop does not automatically disqualify a team.
16
Baton Practice - SYNCHRONIZATION
1 baton per person, face outward, NO looking, focus on synchronization
After 2 min – ORANGE batons rotate 2 tables to the right
After 5 min – PURPLE batons rotate 2 table to the left
