INITIAL ASSESSMENT
More About The Assessment
All new training goals, no matter how long you have been training, begin with an assessment of where you are right here, right now. To plot a course from “here” to “there” you have to know where “here” is. And once you know that you can determine a good “there.” Said another way we need to figure out points A and B if we want to move from one to the other as quickly, safely and efficiently as possible.
