DELIBERATE PRACTICE.

This is not a photo of Augie running P2P, it’s just a normal day being surrounded by adoring women and their signs….alas.

Check out this great ARTICLE that the Claw sent us on practice methods. This may not be a specific CrossFit write up, but the cross over is pretty clear. Plus CrossFitters live to be good at everything so I’m sure there are gems in here for everyone.

Here’s a clip on deliberate practice.

“Deliberate Practice

So what is the alternative? Deliberate, or mindful practice is a systematic and highly structured activity, that is, for lack of a better word, more scientific. Instead of mindless trial and error, it is an active and thoughtful process of hypothesis testing where we relentlessly seek solutions to clearly defined problems.

Deliberate practice is often slow, and involves repetition of small and very specific sections of a skill instead of just playing through. For example, if you were a musician, you might work on just the opening note of a solo to make sure that it “speaks” exactly the way you want, instead of playing the entire opening phrase.”

Enjoy the article.

I'll sign up to work overtime for that next year, then I can decorate my police car with inappropriate signage and yell encouragement from the PA system.

The Pier to Peak support team's signs were brilliant...absolutely brilliant.

I have some questions. Is there an age, height or weight limit to be one of Augie's groupies ? Where are the applications available ? Is there an essay portion ? What is the required uniform ? Does that sign, in fact, say, "Keep Running You Sexy Bitches" ??? AWESOME !!
