I really like this article! I think it puts a lot of things in perspective on our training philosophy at Vista, and there are some great insights in here. In the spirt of always being a "student of the sport" here you go!

Team "Remind" Text List Communication
If you have not done so already, please sign-up for the team "Remind" communication list. Besides the blog, this is how I will communicate with the team most frequently. It is also the easiest way for me to be able to get a message to athletes and families when needed. See the attached document for directions on how to sign-up.
