Look For

  • Double Under: Athletes are working at the same time here, look for athletes to relax the arms and only spin with the wrists. 
  • Row: Athletes can switch however, look for athletes starting really hot here there is still a lot of work to be done after the row!
  • Wallball: Focus on looking for a quality squat throughout today.  There is opportunity to give some tips and cues as their partner works!

Wisdom often comes from considering even seemingly foolish questions, as they can provoke deep reflection and learning.
