The Savage Race is coming up and we are jumping in on Saturday, July 28th! The race is a 5-7 mile course with 25 of the coolest obstacles in the industry. “It’s more than just a race. It’s about setting personal goals and smashing them. It’s about pushing your limits to defeat the world’s best obstacles. It’s about teamwork and friendship. It’s about the amazing people you will meet on the course. It’s about the mud, the fires, and the Facebook pics. It’s about creating the memory of a lifetime.” Check out more about the event HERE.
Skill Sessions
There is no substitute for concentrated work. And that’s exactly what you get with skill sessions. 1) You pick the skill, 2) a Coach makes the plan and shows you how to complete it, and 3) then you consistently complete your skill homework. This 3-step process are THE most efficient way for you to reach your movement goals. Ask a coach how you can get started!
Current Bluprint Athletes: I want to challenge you to participate in at least 1 of the above events. Training with a purpose yields the best results.
Future Bluprint Athletes: Find something to train for and you will enjoy the fruits of your labor. Whether that’s in the form of crushing your performance goals or fitting into the bathing suit this summer!
Here’s to continuous improvement!
