Strength Versus Speed



As mentioned last night, it is not unusual for those whose talent lies in speed to be lacking in strength and vice versa. Take a look at yesterday's blog. Notice the names of those on the bottom. The bottom three folks--Dave, Christy and Jenny are conversely our STRONGEST boot campers. They ALWAYS do the standard weight, when others have to scale. Indeed, both Christy and Jenny can generally do the men's weight.

However, a man is only as fit as he is fit in all 10 COMPONENTS OF FITNESS--Accuracy, Agility, Balance, Coordination, Cardio Respiratory Endurance, Flexibility, Power, Speed, Strength and Stamina.

What are you weak in? THAT is EXACTLY what you need to ATTACK.

It is easy to get comfortable doing what you love and avoiding doing what you hate. The next time something comes up that you suck at, attack it like a rabid dog!
