Daily Mindset

“Perfection can be spelled with the word paralysis.” - Churchill

The act of “starting” is all too often the most challenging.

As human beings, our survival mechanism kicks in when we approach change. It sounds the alarm, telling us we are in dangerous waters. We may find ourselves forecasting to the future, vividly conceptualizing the hardships, obstacles, and all the tough unknowns that path may bring.

This defense mechanism is amazing for avoiding predators. It can save our lives! But on the other hand… It can also prevent it.

Breathe into those thoughts that run through our mind when we approach change. Recognize them. Accept them for what they are. And then put them where they belong, because it’s time to get to work.

How to Run the General Warmup

WOD Brief - Stimulus [5:00 - 8:00]

The prescription is the stimulus, not necessarily what is written on the board.

  • Category: Grind
  • Score: Total Reps
  • Deadlift: Weights we can cycle for 10+ when fresh.
  • Power Cleans: Weights we can cycle for 5+ when fresh.
  • Deadlift: Weights we can cycle for 15+ when fresh.

[Flow]

  • Each teammate starts on different barbell movement
  • Teammates must run together for the 1 mile runs (holding a stretch band or jump rope)
  • Score is total combined reps of the team
  • All AMRAPs are 10 minutes instead of 8-10-12 as originally written for the individual version.

How to Run a Practice Round

Bathroom, Water, Questions [21:00 - 34:00]

Break for members to use the rest room as well as ask any final questions. This is also an opportunity for the coach to go around the room and chat with athletes regarding volume, loading, and modifications.

Workout [24:00 - 54:00]

It is the coach's responsibility to bring the energy in the room for the workout. This may be the most important job of the coach, to make the class fun. There should be a big loud countdown to start the class, and every member should hear their name loud by the coach. This lets the member know the coach is watching them, and also creates a good feeling by hearing their own name. The coach should work the room and there should be no doubt, if someone walks in the room in the middle of the workout, who the coach is.

Community Building [54:00 - 60:00]

Use this time to give the class a talk on how we should eat, move, think, connect, or sleep.

Or this could be a time for the coach to make 1-on-1 connections on a deeper level.

This may be some of the most important minutes of the entire class. Build your community here.
