WOD – Tue, Aug 22

Intent

Today’s goal is to equip the athletes with more skills and confidence than they came with from a hanging perspective. Many times the separation from athletes not improving and breaking down plateaus is their lack of time spent with a coach developing skills. Come ready to serve and equip. The list of suggested drills or skill is simply a starting point, use all or use none but have planning to maximize the 15:00 spent with them, it will serve them to a great degree.

Conditioning today when attacked right is a big challenge to athletes’ intensity. Are they willing to go fast and attempt bigger sets than they prefer? That is often where more fitness is found. Spend time nailing down practice for double unders and appropriate form on ski erg in order to maximize the output. Help encourage members to understand that double unders are not equal at all to simply doubling single unders, challenge the skill development, spend the time, also learn different scales like lateral bar jump overs that create a stimulus cardio wise similar to Double Unders.
