Testimonials

During my track and field years at Imbler, we were fortunate enough to be able to utilize the Eastern Oregon University Track to get a “good” practice in. However, we could never stay long since we would have to get back to Imbler at a reasonable time. During our practices at EOU we would try to focus on block work, corner work, strides, relay handoffs, hurdle work, as well as field events such as high, triple, and long jump and even throwing events. Due to being bussed into the university, there never seemed to be enough time to complete all the workouts we needed to in order for personal and team improvements.

Imbler is an incredible school. Their coaching staff is dedicated to making each athlete better at not just their sport, but also in their mental toughness, strength, kindness and much more. They equip the student athletes to take on bigger issues and overcome obstacles; which equips them to better handle life and whatever it may bring.

It was the first sport I’d ever encountered where hard work and intelligent training make up the entire competitive edge. This makes for the perfect environment to inculcate the value of work ethic — my entire incentive as an athlete was to push hard, unreliant on the hard work of other teammates or competitors.
