A Wealth of Insight
Centered in movement, often grounded in humor, and always intelligent, these pieces are timeless bites of wisdom. Start anywhere. Or choose a category (below) and dive into it!
Are You Going to Bounce?
Because successful people bounce, no matter what.
Where Are Your Feet?
Don't overthink the lift, or your life. You can handle both. You're a CrossFitter.
What If the Whiteboard Was Blank?
If no one writes on the whiteboard, can it still be CrossFit?
Getting Better?
Every choice you make either propels you along the road towards your dreams . . . or it takes you farther away.
Sacrifice
But the term "sacrifice" actually means "the surrender of something for the sake of something else." It's not deprivation for deprivation's sake. Sacrifice means giving up this in order to get that.
What You Make Of It
This world is exactly what you make it -- no better or worse than your own attitude every single day. And if you can improve yourself, well, you can improve the world too.
Tell Your Fear to Stuff It
So many people, in so many ways in life, are scared to do what they want to do. Don't be one of them. Step up.
CrossFit Math
Accomplishment = Effort x ∞
Suckage
Some days suck like dumbbell workouts.
I'm Not Your Mother
I won't tap out. I won't quit the WOD before the buzzer. I won't drop the bar. You're going to have to pry it out of my cold, dead fingers.
Slipping
You won't recognize the moment that you start to slide backwards.
The Bar Tells The Truth
Here's the funny thing: It tells the truth when you walk away too. How you leave a failed lift tells more about you than you imagine.
Go To Your Dark Place
Happy won't get you where you want to go. You can't take your mind away from the pain if you want to achieve. You have to go straight at the pain and enter it.
What Do You Hunger For?
We all hunger for something. Yearning is a part of the human condition.
Go Ahead and Cheat
So, what's that mirror looking like for you today?
You Versus It
You vs. it. Life. Game on. What are you going to do today?
The CrossFit Watertown Mindset
What I Know
Stop complaining and start doing. Life is short. Very short. Grab it and run like the wind while you're still here.
Seven More Days In Suckville . . . Or Not
So, are you going to improve? Or are you going to stay in Suckville for another week?
Let Us
Let us resolve not to beat ourselves up. To take our lessons and learn them ... and then leave them.
