Lamoureux Twins

 I like to brag that I have coached two Olympic athletes, unfortunately they didn't compete in Track & Field at the Olympics, but they are Olympians non-the-less. In 2002 and 2003 Jocelyne and Monuque ran Cross Country  for Central. It is amazing how one or two athletes can bring up the competition level and the work ethic of a team. Everyone knew that Cross Country wasn't their main sport, but was a way for them to stay in shape for hockey.  They came to practice everyday, ready to work hard and even though they were only 7th and 8th graders at the time, they raised the level of everyone's desire to compete.  That is one of the two things I will always remember about them. That desire to compete, and to do everything to the best of their ablitites, never any excuses.  I also remember how well they did in school.  I also had one of their brothers, Jacques, who played hockey for Air Force, in my enriched chemistry class.  All three took school as a top priority, never used sports as an excuse for not completing an assignment or being prepared for class. 

The following link will take you to a story about the Laumoureux twins.  It is a story stressing how important school is, how they manage their time, and make sacrifices.  They realize how their academics will open doors for them after their career in athletics is over.  A lesson that more current high school athletes should learn.

Great to hear about the twins and your experiences with them. I remember training them at Acceleration a few times and they always worked hard and never wasted their time.....couple keys to success in sports and life.
