PRACTICE OBJECTIVE
At Home:
To better understand the progressions, It is highly recommended that you set yourself up in a quiet place to watch the video several times.
Then, without distractions, close your eyes and mentally visualize yourself executing the progressions as shown in the video.
By visualizing each progression and the final collaborated sequence, you can prepare yourself to physically execute the movement patterns with confidence and bring more mental awareness when it comes time to practice the skill.
Estimated At Home Practice: 23 – 30 minutes
At Camp:
In a group format, you will be guided thru each skill piece progression and finishing off the Functional Movement drill with the ‘whole’ technical skill.
Being prepared with a good mental picture of the movement patterns will allow you to maximize the benefits of the physical practice.
Estimated At Camp Practice: 5 – 10 minutes
