ARE YOU SHADOW BOXING... ENOUGH?

THE BULK OF OUR TRAINING is alone. We're all busy, and getting it in when we can. It is what it is...

... and it could be better.

Boxers shadow box.

They get in the ring,
and go after it with an imaginary opponent.

Doing so...

• weans out technical mistakes
• allows for visualization
• reflection on skill

... can be the path to mastery.

Sometimes, I'll go through the same corner over and over...

... until I master it.

Others, I'll visualize the finish of a race,
even find a similar straightaway,
and try different ways...

... to win the sprint.

I usually train alone,
or do I?

Maybe I'm crazy after all.
