What does “REMOTE FIRST” mean?
Lights Out is what I call a “remote first” program. This means several things. First of all, it means that this program can be done 100% remotely with little to no in person training. In fact, even if you do take advantage of frequent in person training, a majority of your work will be done on your own.
How does remote first work?
The short answer is, communicate often, video everything, and ask questions.
A coach doesn’t need to be in person to “get eyes on you” - but this means you must live up to the expectation to send regular video to your coach, and complete your lifts properly.
How does in person training work if this is a remote first program?
Every athlete in the Lights Out program is afforded the opportunity to work in person once a week.
BUT this in person session does not replace the requirement for a weekly video.
In person is typically a small group setting in which athletes get in person interaction with their coach and fellow Lights Out athletes, as they go through throwing work, work outs, etc.
What if I can’t get in person once a week?
THIS IS OK!! Remember, this is a remote FIRST program. While many players do like to take advantage of the in person options, not all do. In fact, there are players in the Lights Out program that live hours away, and complete their training 100% remotely.
As long as you remember to take video, communicate, and do your “assignments”, you will be ok!
What if I miss a scheduled lift?
Not to worry, make sure you communicate with your coach. You can always go back and do a missed lift. In order to best “makeup your time”, ask for your coach's advice.
If you know you will miss a lift due to an upcoming commitment, ask your coach how you should adjust your workout schedule.
