Team Week


As this week's WODs focus on team workouts, here are some simple things to keep in mind: These events are not about PRs, but elevating each other's performance and forging bonds within the community as a whole. Find a team or teammate that might benefit from your strength or speed rather than the combo that will get you to the finish line first. No 'A' teams here. This is a good week to ignore the time board completely and instead focus on learning to work together effectively. And anytime a 'penalty' is encountered from a dropped ball or missed cue, remember that this dynamic is created to make each of us stronger, inside and out. So if your ego flares because the guy next to you is creating extra burpees for the team, then perhaps the leader within still has some work to do. Notice what goes on inside your head during this week's workouts and use it to learn more about yourself.
