- Get help from a professional (older athlete, coach, trainer, OR instruction video an adult help’s pick out) to learn 3 strength exercises to do for the next month.
- Pick a skill to train for AND check (coach, gym teacher, older athlete, book/online instructions) for a trusted drill to do for the next month to improve your skill.
- Make and follow a month long plan that does all three activities (endurance, strength, AND skill drill) at least twice a week AND review (discuss with professional, write top 10 tip list, OR make a short video/slideshow for younger scouts) at the end of the month.
