Time for our question of the week.

Do you think that taking a step back and just sitting on the sidelines and watching from time to time can help your game? Any time I find myself dealing with an injury or just need to give my body a little rest I always decide to just sit on the sidelines and watch what’s going on on the mats. I feel like that’s where some of my biggest breakthroughs have come from…just taking a step back and watching the bigger picture. It’s never fun when I have to sit out due to an injury but I know I can still come in and learn something just by watching. Let me know what you think in the comments.
