Don’t overthink it, just do it
A group of us arrived at bootcamp on Monday and our coach was unavailable. We decided we wouldn’t let the this opportunity go amiss, we would still exercise. Someone asked who would lead us and my name was put forward. I was a bit scared, unsure I would be able to lead the session but…
