What is your weakness
First of all, let me start by saying that you people are special. Yep, you, the people that come to CrossFit to workout. It is pre-destined, that if you can come to this gym (voluntarily), and give it everything you’ve got, day in and day out, you are an individual of high character, period. O.k. I didn’t make that up, in fact, Coach (Greg Glassman, founder of CrossFit) has been known to say time and time again that the people in his community are of solid moral values, and that it takes a certain individual to do what we do.
And today, was just a reminder of how right coach is. I am a terrible poker player, so when I asked what your least favorite CrossFit movement was, you knew it would be in the WOD, but you told me anyway. You could have avoided to do what you hate, but you did not. You faced it straight on, and you all did it extremely well. It makes me proud to be your coach.
On that note, another great quote that’s been playing in my head recently. If you only train the things you are good at, you will never improve. Train your weaknesses, and you will unlock things you never thought possible. So, please remember that when you warm up. Not that I don’t see a ton of that already!
And there’s a hard earned below parallel squat, nice work PAT!
And JT, with a 5000m row in 18:36! I thought you didn’t have stamina, LOL!
Have a good weekend,
Jordan
