We have several options from physical challenges to mental challenges, to emotional/existential challenges. Athletes can view their Misogi like a rite of passage of sorts. Some are done as a team, and some are solo challenges. The team Misogi builds camaraderie and solo Misogi build incredible mental strength and fortitude.
