The Realization Phase… | My Favorite part of Coaching, but it’s Bittersweet.
The End of Summer means two things:
One - Programs shifting from Hypertrophy & Maximal Strength is “Realized” into Power & Skill Transfer…
And Two - I’m really starting to think about how much I’m going to miss the “Kids” that I’ve seen grow up right in front of me, right here in the gym.
It’s my Favorite time of Training because so much more of the “Art” of Sports Performance happens at this point, rather than just the “Science” of getting Bigger & Stronger.
And usually, it’s when I start to get Groups going because Training at High Intensity in this Team-style format is much more Competitive and applicable.
But it also makes me “Realize” how special my Time is with these kids who have spent Years and Years, Summer after Summer, coming in to Train at OAKFIT.
Maybe it’s just the Dad side of me who get a little sentimental about all of it, but man I sure am really damn Proud.
I’ll stop here before I get too choked up, but I tell you what…
We are going Full Throttle for the next 20-30 Days. I made a Promise that this would be the Strongest & Fastest Class at OAKFIT To-Date, and I’m going to make it happen.
Stay Tuned!
