Look For

  • Run: Encourage athletes to run at a pace that will allow them to get right to work inside. 
  • Rope Climbs: 1 Rope climb each 0:30 is the target, look for a big tuck before clasping so athletes use as few pulls as possible. 
  • KB Swings: Encourage a full hip extension to get full power from the lower body as they swing.

 "Something opens our wings. Something makes boredom and hurt disappear. Someone fills the cup in front of us: We taste only sacredness."

Life’s meaningful moments and connections lift us beyond mundane struggles, revealing the sacredness in everyday experiences.
