Xperience Connections’ education topic for July was “What do you do to overcome disappointments, rejection, or discouragement? Share what keeps you from never quitting.”

Here are strategies our attendees use to keep their spirits lifted. Thank you to the women of the Douglasville and Powder Springs XC:
