The Chronicles of Shanks: Collegiate Plan: Week of 12/26/16

New Years Day run is very IMPORTANT. Starting off the new year on the right foot, regardless of how rough you feel from the night before, get outside and go workout, this is a mental fortitude exercise. Will you follow through on your commitments (team, teammates, workouts) or will you come up with excuses on why you can't or didn't workout? Excuses now make it easier to create them down the road, prove to yourself that you can change that behavior and do the work that it takes to become a better athlete, person, teammate. This is a life skill, not just a sports skill.
