Check out those guns! Emily Hobbs, a sophomore sprinter/soccer player from The Linsly School, travels 60 minutes one way to get her lift on. The last six weeks have been an eye-opening  experience for Emily, and she’s making some remarkable gains in strength, mobility, and respect for training hard. Look for her to crush her high school’s 400 meter record this track season.

2. Not reading 7 Habits of Highly Effective People sooner

Speaking of Steven R. Covey, his book 7 Habits of Highly Effective People has been a guiding factor in my coaching, mentoring, and personal relationships. Buy the book today and actually read it.
