Athlete Notes:
We are continuing with our “successory” work Tuesday’s! If you ever start to get bored with any of this stuff, just remind yourself that laying a strong foundation now is going to open doors for you in the future! All of the best athletes around the world spend the bulk of their “offseason” making sure that they have a foundation built from solid stone, so why shouldn’t you? Focus on trying to make each movement as perfect as possible, and challenge yourself to stay 100% focused on each task!
