Beyond The Bench

In this episode we talk about how we are feeling after Week 1 and offer some thoughts on what we can do to combat the frustration, the stress and seemingly endless criticism.  It's not a pity party but it was a good therapy session.  We'd love to hear what you are doing to keep yourself positive and moving forward.
