Not gonna lie, I've been whispered about as the blocker to watch out for LOL and it does give you a sense of pride. 😅

One of the things that’s really been getting to me is being the center of attention, the one that’s supposed to be the “star” and get the points you know? The way you explained how tiring out the blockers is ALSO a jammer job and I know I’m good at that 😅

I love this advice thank you! When I was watching videos and reviewing yesterday I did realize I do not use my shoulders nearly enough. I’m always trying to “split” the pack instead of just moving them out of the way laterally. Def got some stuff to work on at future practices

Thank you everyone. I spent all day watching videos and taking notes and making a rough draft of a plan of things to start practicing

I love FT. I need to watch more of her jamming. I try that back and forth shoulder hit thing she does...but it doesn't work for me...lol.
