Encouragement from past Bootcampers
Come on over to the campfire and join in. We have smores.
So tonight is the first call and there may be many of you that have been too scared to post. As one that takes awhile to warm to a group I posted little and didn’t participate fully in bootcamp Ver 1.0 last spring. I didn’t get an AB until late in the game. I also didn’t invest much in my FMS inventory either. In retrospect, I shorted my learning experience, so with this added opportunity to do bootcamp again I am trying much harder. I will invest in my FMS. I will do a better job to watch this group to give cheers and accolades. I will make time to do my videos and post them (yeah they aren’t great but that is why I am here. #TrainingUgly or better #TrainingUglyAmongSupportFromBeautifulPeople).
One thing I didn’t say in my introduction about why I fell in love with WCS was the community. While not perfect there sure are lots of people supporting people, and I always felt welcome. And here we are. WCS dancers in a campsite, our bootcamp community. So if you are feeling a bit scared, this is a safe place (just look at all the support from the posts already) Please don’t short yourself out of fear (like I did last time).
So come on over to the campfire and join in. We have smores.

I didn’t realize until more than halfway through last time just how beneficial it was to really engage
There is so much information in the DDP and it is awesome to be guided through again! I also get the opportunity to do things differently.
I didn’t realize until more than halfway through last time just how beneficial it was to really engage….SO…read your materials, post your videos, connect with a couple of ABs and join the practice pods! Most importantly, enjoy the journey.
