Look For

  • Bike

Cadence (RPM). Pay attention to pedal cadence, which is the speed at which athletes pedal. Encourage a cadence that is high (87-95) for a workout like today.

  • Rope Climb

Sequence. Cue athletes to follow the reach, tuck, clamp, stand sequence to maximize efficiency on their rope climb.

  • Deadlift

"Think of a Leg Press". Relate the movement to a leg press exercise to help athletes understand the importance of leg drive. Encourage them to use their legs as if pushing a heavy sled away.

  •  Post Workout Clean Up & Chat (57-60)

Mindset

“Stay committed to your decisions, but stay flexible to your approach.” - Tony Robbins

Is it a change of plan, or a change of vision?

We’re a committed, hungry group. We don’t shy away from discipline… we actually embrace it. And that dedication often shows itself when we set goals. We hard-charge them.

Yet along the way, we will have detours. Sometimes they will be by choice - and sometimes by chance. Regardless, we need the step back to assess what we are feeling. We can beat ourselves up for losing the “original plan”, or we can embrace the new path ahead, well knowing the detour signs are ultimately leading us to where we seek.

Committed to the destination, while flexible on the route.
