In this episode, we talk about learning to focus, prioritize, and plan what skill areas to work on. There's a balance between jumping into something new every class vs sticking with one skill for way too long. We discuss watching instructionals, working on offense vs defense, the fun factor, and balancing the technique of the day in class. There are unlimited techniques to focus on, how many is too many at once? How do we get more intentional? These are questions we try to tackle. Hope you enjoy!
