wasting less chalk at Gymnastics

If you know Al Fong you know he hates chalk on the floor. If anyone spills chalk, training stops and it’s cleaned up immediately.

Al Fong:

What happened really surprised me. My athletes started taking ownership of their chalk and competed with each other to see who could make their block last the longest.

Almost immediately I no longer had to sweep up excess chalk in the bar area. My beams became cleaner and my vault area was spotless. Amazing. My friends told me this was going to happen but I had my doubts. I’m a believer now.

And it’s been over 6 month since I had to purchase another case of chalk!

Chalk Revelation!
