Logistics

Today is a long, grindy team workout. In order provide your class with the full time necessary for this workout you’ll need to come prepared with an efficient and timely warm up.

Allow athletes to use different loads on DBs and to modify the workout individually so that all 3 team members are not required to complete the same version of the workout.

Example: 2 athletes can complete TTB while their 3rd teammate modifies to knees to chest.

Mindset

“Your mind is not your shoe size.” - Jim Kwik

Have you ever taken an “IQ Test”?

Chances are you have of some sort. A test that claimed to tell us our capacity in life. Where the resulting score is the equivalent of looking into a crystal ball on how successful we’ll be.

As ridiculous as that sounds, it’s a nightmare that comes to life for many. A self-fulfilling prophecy that can cut potential at the knees.

The truth of it all however, is that we know so very little about how the mind *actually* works. It’s still such a mystery to us. Yet, we can find ourselves building an imaginary ceiling over our heads.

In regards to one of life’s greatest mysteries, there’s one thing we can bank on… that our mind is not our shoe size.
