040 : 021 FYF

FYFs are special. I guess you can say it’s a trademark thing at the Space/Space Program. And being called upon to write one — especially with THE Mark Twight in the house — is quite the honor and a bit surreal. So when it came to writing this one out on the board I had to take a minute to process the responsibility I had with a DryErase marker in my hand. I wanted this session to invoke thought under stress mainly because I was trying to teach someone a lesson about getting out of their own way and strategizing on the fly. The target numbers to hit on the run and machines are straightforward but how the teams get there is up to their own abilities and on-the-spot judgment. To be honest, I didn’t have an idea for a game plan until I presented the session to the class and then it got executed rather implicitly with Sam. I won’t reveal our method I think it’s better for you all to find it out on your own. For those who want to do it solo, I truly recommend finding a homie to do this one with. It adds the right amount of seasoning to this dish.
