COT: 5th core principle

Q-school lessons shared from 3 C’s and four corners. Reminders that simple can be effective. In keeping the group together, four corners and self-explanatory exercises are helpful to keeping pax connected and together during a workout – all while embodying the credo of leaving no man behind but not leaving him where you found him.

Thanks for the call Deep Dish.
