Attention HP-Athletes:
This week we will be doing some data collection; and would appreciate if you can fill out the following, short, survey. This will help us get a better understanding of what you are trying to accomplish in the short/ long term, and where you stand relative to those goals (based on previous/ upcoming testing). This will also help us get an idea of how many people are currently following each focus group- since a lot of followers do not post on a regular basis and we want to make sure they are accounted for in the group avatar.
