Workout of the Day
Thursday, January 26th, 2012
You either see (envision) yourself as successful in a upcoming lift, event, relationship or effort or you do not. Picturing what success looks like before you begin will make all the difference in the world.
Workout of the Day
20 minutes, for load:
10 Wall Balls (20/14lb)
20 Double Unders
1 Snatch
Session Notes:
Let’s talk about confidence for a second.
As coaches, we get to witness something about you that you’ll rarely get to watch: your expression. I can tell a lot about a person based on the expression they make while participating in a session in our gym. Regardless of whether the experience takes you to a dark place, or one of happiness something is bubbling up you cannot contain. If you doubt yourself, doubt your abilities as an athlete, you will likely show me that on your face; this hapless self expression oozes through pores like no other movement fault and can weigh heavy on whether you’re inching toward your goal, or whether it’s slipping away from you like the rep you’re about to miss.
Confidence is crucial.
The next time you go to lift something heavy, or climb a mountain, or give a speech, or whatever try this: believe. Don’t just do that “I can do this…” bullshit mantra I hear everyone say. Believe from the bottom of your feet to the top of your head that what you are about to do is achievable and that you are capable, in that moment, of anything.
I dare you.

Reminder
We are holding a special off-site WOD at SEED people’s market this Saturday at 9am. We are still holding the regular 9 & 11am, but if you want to get outside meet Lindsay over there for a bodyweight workout with some people SEED has managed to wrangle up. You’ll need to reserve a spot though. Go HERE to do so.
