This week - as the final week of the Open comes to a close - we breakdown the lethal combination, 21.3 and 21.4. After that, we discuss each workout's standards and how they could be judged in the future for those looking to compete.

Mike, Will and Maddie breakdown another topic of discussion this week. Cultivating a team - whether that be a team looking to dominate the competition floor or a coaching team to represent your box - is a difficult endeavour. However, it can also be one of the most rewarding experiences both personally and for better business. That's why we've chosen discuss how to build a team for specific goals. Tune in as we talk about how to deal with problems within your team, what to look out for in potential teammates and how to move forward as a group.

Caring what others think is something that we all go through a some point during our lives. This week, we cover how to stop falling into the trap of being wrapped up in the opinions of others. How do we take control of what matters? Should instead prioritise those opinions that do matter?
