Performance Quest's box jump day is one of the most mentally mind-blowing days you've ever experienced. It's not all that bad until you're standing in front of your box damn near looking it eye to eye. Then the butterflies kick in, the doubt kicks in and you just stare at the stupid thing. Committing to the attempt is an accomplishment in and of itself.
Then, once you do finally commit, the athletic ability required to be explosive and jump as high as you possibly can while being flexible enough to tuck the legs as hard as possible and still have the stability and balance to stick the landing onto a tall box jump is incredible. And that's all if you don't miss the landing. Clip the foot on the box on the way up and experience what other athletic instincts kick in.
This is what makes conquering box jump day so rewarding.
