Introduction

2kings 2.9-

One of the most exciting events in track & field is the 4X100 relay race.

This relay race is fast paced.

I have seen a record time 36.84 by the Jamaican Relay team.(Nesta

Carter, Michael Frater, Yohan Blake, and Usain Bolt)

The movement of the baton should be the main objective.

Keep the baton moving at maximum speed at all time throughout the race.

The baton must always be the fastest member of the squad.

Every team Member should be prepared to run in all positions, practice the baton pass, practice the handover until it becomes instinctual, practice under pressure, exchange should occur at maximum speed, and just its drop does not automatically disqualify you.

The selection of the team is the last thing to consider.

Name recognition should not play a part in who runs on the relay.

One coach suggest he would take his 2nd 4 fastest sprinters with a great exchange over the top 4 with a bad exchange any day and win four out of 5 any time.

He said without sound fundamentals disappointments awaits.

The Bible shows us the importance of succession planning.

Moses passes the Baton, to Joshua, David to Solomon, Jesus to the Disciples, Paul to Timothy, Elijah to Elisha, and Jesus to church.
