The BackBlast:

It is the best month of the year for college basketball. Conference Championships are underway and bracketologists everywhere are preparing to fill out their brackets. On a surprisingly pleasant (but cold) morning with light snow falling, 10 PAX entered the gloom for a basketball themed beatdown. Primarily Cardio-focused, with a light touch of core.

Lesson Learned: Indian Valley PAX need to improve on our 40% foul shooting if we’re going to win a close game!

COT – Quote – Mike Krzyzewski (Coach K) on Passion

 “When your passion and purpose are greater than your fears and excuses, you will find a way to win.”

 “When you are passionate, you always have your destination in sight and you are not distracted by obstacles. Because you love what you are pursuing, things like rejection and setbacks will not hinder you in your pursuit. You believe that nothing can stop you!”
