Dawn getting ready to move some weight
This Week: Be Prepared
How prepared are you? Are you ready to compete? Do you have what it takes to mentally and physically step up to the plate? You compete with your old records and the records of others every time you walk in to the gym, and that’s what makes you better. You may not care what someone else’s time was or how much weight they did, but instead you worry “did I do better than I did when this came up the last time?” At Carolina CrossFit, we have built a community of support, but also a community that forces you to be better everytime you walk through our doors. The trainers start with a nudge and holding people to a standard, but it’s you guys who keep that bar set high and demand that your peers maintain proper and consistent range of motion and intensity by policing each other. But you also encourage each other and want to see the others succeed.
This Saturday, one of our own is competing in the CrossFit Games Qualifiers in Ohio. She made the haul north to leave it all on the table and see where she shakes out. We have seen her fight in the gym to be a better athlete and coach. Sometimes she wins, sometimes it’s just not her day. This never stops her from coming back for more, and that’s what makes her stronger. Dawn, we are behind you, and we believe in you. Win or lose, you had the guts and the heart to put it all out there for the world to see. You have done the research, trained hard, and made great strides with hitting your goals. You have an entire gym behind you, and whether you finish first or last, the support will still be here when you get home.
As a coach, let me personally say to you…I’m proud of you. You can do this. Keep your mind strong, your heart in the fight, and DIG DEEP.
