For the Coach

Resource Drive

Workout Overview

Stimulus

This team workout is all about coordination and efficiency. You’ll tackle rope climbs, snatches, and runs together as a unit, splitting the reps inside as you like. During the runs, stay together as a team, but the first athlete back can start the next set of work, keeping the flow moving. Focus on smart rep distribution on the rope climbs and snatches to avoid burnout, and communicate well with your teammates to keep transitions smooth and fast!

Look For

  • Rope Climb | Look for the proper sequence so that athletes doing burnout their arms too quick. 
  • Run | Look for teams to hit the time stimulus target, with this any runs we need to be sure we are managing time frames. 
  • DB Snatch | The dumbbell should be challenging today, we are looking for teams to complete small sets and switch out quick.  If our form starts to waiver, encourage athletes to lower weight.

MINDSET

Kathleen Norris - "All that is necessary is to accept the impossible, do without the indispensable, and bear the intolerable."

Life often requires accepting difficult realities, letting go of what we think we can’t live without, and enduring challenges.
