Life is good

It has been at least a couple of months since my last visit to the Academy. Man they have made a lot of progress! They are a a lot stronger physicaly and as a unit. It is great to see.

It is also great to see how different things are out there from the very first time I went a few years ago. I am sure that they are in a lot better position both physicaly and mentaly by the time they leave. They have a great bunch of instructors out there. Willing to try different things out. Tires, kettlebells, car pushing all sorts of fun times. The finale was a tug of war!
Pete has a very cool video he made(not from today). Inspiring to say the least. Throw it up on Youtube Pete;)
