Deep Diving Into Our Business Strategy
Yesterday started off with an early morning speed coaching session. We spent a lot of time focusing on change of direction during this session. We identified it as an area of improvement for her.
What we are looking to improve is her ability to absorb force effectively and safely. The more effectively she is able to absorb force the more she is able to produce. On the safety side of things developing her ability to absorb force will help to prevent a lot of injuries. In sports, most injuries occur during deceleration or attempting to make a cut. That is because a lot of athletes are under trained in their ability to absorb force and that leads to injuries.
We noticed she was taking a stutter step when decelerating and then planting her foot to cut and sprint back. So we want to improve her ability to plant her foot, slow her down, and use that force to accelerate the opposite direction. That’s where our focus was during the session and we made some good initial strides and I look forward to progressing over the next few sessions.
After the session I rested for a little bit and then got ready to head into the gym for a lifting and cardio session. It was good to be back in the gym with some of the guys again. It always creates a fun environment to workout in.
I finished up the workout and then took a quick trip home to take Champ on a walk and then I had to go right back to the gym for another training session. I was going to work that session and then head right to practice. However, we weren’t able to have practice as the host had some prior obligations to tend to.
After we got that information my business partner and I decided to use that extra time to brainstorm some more and really deep dive into our business plan, strategy, and development. We wanted to get all the information out and organize it so that we can hit the ground running when we sign the lease and get in our building! We spent hours going over everything we could think of, writing things down and doing research. We had a dry erase board up and wrote all over it. We were working on it until around midnight when we decided to call it a night. We were expecting to have a big day ahead with potentially signing our lease and moving in.
More details on that to follow!
Until tomorrow,
