Last Thursday we did a video session with Ahvo and worked on double pole. DP has been my weekest stroke and I’ve been working on it since I started with Vakava two years ago. I went back and looked at some video from the previous two years and compared it to this years. It was amazing to see how much it has improved and shows what working with Vakava has done for me. There is no way that I could’ve made those improvements without this group. These people have not just helped me with technique, but have also given me the motivation and support to do the hard work required to improve my conditioning and strength which is needed to make the technique improvements. Thanks everybody, I couldn’t do it without you!br /br /I know others have made dramatic improvements as well. My husband has wondered what the point of a team was for an individual sport.
