Great session John! At prescription, as usual. Nice snatching everyone. How about that non-dominant side, was that interesting or what? Very few exercises tax our core more than a one armed snatch. The stability required is off the chart. Combine that with the need for very flexible shoulders and now we are asking for a lot.

Hit the blog and find a few fixes.

As the Tough Mudder approaches, apprehension begins. A few strategies to deal with the apprehension might help. Visualize the race as it is occurring. Go through the obstacles and the runs with as much detail as possible. Mentally rehearse what you will encounter.

Self talk. Communicate to yourself positive thoughts about the race. Repeat this self talk several times daily and believe it. The Tough Mudder is designed to make us apprehensive, but we will have a blast. Nothing is as bad as you think it will be. We are a TEAM, and we will move through this O' course with ease.

While you are visualizing the race, talking positively to yourself about it, breathe deeply. Focus on long exhales. Deep breathing can help calm even the most difficult situations, helping us to remain focused, and as relaxed as possible.

Finally, use this nervous energy as motivation to succeed. Prepare and train. No worries.

AFOVOS!
