Know the difference between dreams and goals.
Dreams- A goal with outside influence (e.g. winning a comp isn't just relying on your own ability, but also everyone else)
Goals- something you can achieve without outside influence (e.g. run 5k)

-Focus on your feet. Place your foot once, don't readjust and waste energy.

Why are inside flags so underrated?
-They reduce the need to swap your feet
-Keeps your hips closer to the wall to increase your reach
-Great for clipping positions and matching quickly
Next time you feel the urge to swap feet, try an inside flag!
