Skill Development
Dedicate 8-10:00 after training today to working with your comrades on foam rolling, lacrosse ball mashing, kb mashing, etc… It always feels better to suffer together rather than alone. We would like each of our athletes to have the goal of working through 1-2 basic mobility drills that address a specific movement issue and/or areas where nagging soreness, tightness may be limiting performance.
