WOW!  What a great weekend!  Develop Within was a ton of fun!  We got to spend the day cheering on our athletes and watching everyone push themselves in ways that they did not know they could.  Lots of people set personal records and grew so much.  It was great to see!  If you competed please make sure to take a couple minutes to be proud of what you accomplished.  No matter how you did, reflect on the day.  Congratulate yourself for what you did well and identify areas of improvement.  Come back to the gym with a plan for improvement.
