Please let us know what you think!

Today's Podcast deals with how to mentally prepare yourself for training, what things you should focus on, how you should structure your Pre Performance Routines and what you should avoid thinking about prior to training.

On today's podcast, we talk about how to write your own program. We point out the important things you need to take into account, we break down what's important and what's not and we take a quick look at how we've f**ked up while writing programs in the past.
