DWF Team Selection

Phew!!!! The past few weeks has seen our gym being tested harder then ever.  Many have commented on the fact that the 3 parts to the Wods we did in an hour, only a year ago would have been individual Wods for the day.  It is true testament to how far we have come as a gym that not only did we complete these Wods but many hit PB's and performed brilliantly.

Over the past couple of weeks we have ramped up the program to test the limits and indeed try to leave no stone un-turned in the build up to the DWF competition.  All of you are stepping your games up brilliantly and all are making huge steps forward.

A lot of the decisions have been fairly easy.  Injuries have dictated the make up of the teams to a degree but I have some sympathy now with professional team managers who have to make tough team selections every week.  This competition is a fun, friendly competition but I know how hard you have all worked and it has been a real challenge to pick the final 6 people for each team.

I have had to take into account a great many factors in choosing the final line ups:
  1. Strength
  2. Skills
  3. Cardio Fitness
  4. General Fitness
  5. Team Dynamics
  6. Spirit
  7. Future progress
  8. Past dissappointments
  9. And how team members will cope with whatever comes out of the hopper
It hasn't been easy I must admit, and trying to keep everyone happy is damn near impossible.  All I can say is Well done to those in the final 12 and to those that narrowly missed out I hope you can come and support your fellow TAFS and hit it even harder the next time!!!
