If you talk to Cam Parker long enough, you will know he is a big proponent of using track and field as a springboard to success in other sports. Parker tells KNIA/KRLS Sports that while it is fun to win events and compete against other athletes ,becoming that better athlete for your other sport, is what is most important to him.

Parker: “If you can improve your time during the season and improve your 100 time, your jumps and your throws in my opinion it makes you better for your other sports.”

He sees the results of kids who participate in track and field and can see their progress in their other sports like volleyball, basketball, and softball for the Sabers.
