In this week's Agility Challenge Tip, I'll dive into the power of something called 'ignition' for talent development in dog agility. 

Ignition is that spark connecting your identity to high performers, making you believe "I could be them."

To foster this spark, I offer practical tips, starting with creating a serendipitous, joyful discovery.
