Many more guys who showed personal improvement…which is was it’s all about….continued….

We’re hard at work & will calibrate again in 2.5 weeks. That’s their “carrot”. Across all levels, really proud of all the work that’s been put in from June til now to ENHANCE PHYSICAL TRAITS, which compliments & enhances the SKILL WORK. IT’S NOT EASY to gain 20 lbs, get stronger, get faster, get more powerful, move more twitchily (medical term), IN A WAY RELATIVE TO PERFORMING THE SPORT BETTER…BUT…it is so worth it. We’ll be handing alotta shirts out, guys & girls, for ACHIEVEMENT, over the next couple weeks. Excited to reward the change. Just finished 6:15am High School Girls, who have the toughest time slot of the Winter for sure (Summer too for that matter)…but are am amazing way for me to start the day. And they are a constant reminder to me of the single biggest goal we are trying to achieve, which isn’t on this laminated sheet…..
INCREASED CONFIDENCE!
