Featured Image – What’s your excuse for not training???? Coach Sam still putting in the hard work while she recovers from her fibula fracture! Here she is doing some Oly lifting and Gymnastics the knees, unloading the injured area! Far too often one finds small excuses for why one should not be training! It’s always best to work around your limitations rather than find reason/s for why one should not be training! Keep up the good work Sam!!!!
