You know what I realized this morning more than ever before – how much I love to help others discover how strong they are. I coached the 6A class this morning and the workout was Helen – she’s a hard one. 400m run, 21 KB swings, 12 Pull ups – 3 RFT. Yeah quite a little mean lady.  I will admit I was happy that I wasn’t doing the WOD today — just coaching it people to push on and get through it.

We had a full class and I had a ball. It was a lot of fun. I am trying to be the coach that I like to have coaching me. Sees when I am struggling and is the one to say Let’s go, pick up the KB. You can do it.  A friend when you need it, and a pusher when you need it. I am sure I need more work on delivery and technique of coaching athletes – but that will come with time. My goal is to ensure they get the proper instruction and have fun for that hour. If it’s torture and boring for them — they won’t continue and reach success.

The other thing that is amazing for me to see — we are days away from the end of the Whole Life Challenge and to see some of the transformations that have taken place is so inspiring and makes it all worthwhile for me. The me that i am now, would never have guessed I would be where I am now. Helping inspire and push people to get healthy, fit and find their inner strength – many for the first time.  How can I not love CrossFit? Almost daily, you get to see real changes in people for the better and you play a part in it.

The pic I included is of 4 CrossFit Impavidus athletes that are so different than when they walked in the door. Through their hard work, commitment and good support they have done it. Made lasting changes that improve their quality of life – and isn’t that what we all want? Better living, Better Life.

CrossFit Impavidus is participating in a nationwide CrossFit fundraiser to raise funds and awareness for St. Judes and help find a cure for childhood cancer. CrossFit for Hope fundraiser on June 2 at 10A at the box.

Instead of a free open community workout, we are holding a fundraiser – $5 minimum donation will get you in on the group workout. It’s for a great cause!

I will not be there though – my brother’s wedding in San Fran is that same day and as much as CrossFit is my family, my genetic family comes first!!
