On the first day of practice, Josh told me one of his goals for the year was to learn how to do a chin-up. We’ve been discussing how 5 minutes of extra work every day will add up over time. Josh has made himself a habit: at the conclusion of every practice he jumps up and hangs from the chin-up bar in attempt to do a chin-up. For weeks, he was unable to raise himself to the bar, but kept getting closer and closer until he finally did a perfect chin-up last week. His next goal? 2 chin-ups. – Coach Nick Celgelski
