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!
Using the Melon
It sounds funny but there's truth here. If you choose to be ignorant, life is so much harder. Seriously.
Frustration
What you do when you're frustrated says more about you than the situation or anybody else. In CrossFit and in life. And it holds the key to greater success.
Loyalty
"What you say to me is what you say about me." -- A friend's definition of loyalty.
Patience
The simple truth of the matter is that good things take time. And great things take even more time.
What You Do With That Strength
It doesn't matter if you snatch 45 lbs or 245 lbs. -- what matters is what you do with that strength.
The Only Rep That Matters
The only rep that really matters is the one you're about to do.
Finding Your Mojo Again
Dial it up or dial it down. Figure things out.
Make The Right Choices
If you want to live a productive, fulfilled life of joy and CrossFit, then you need to make good choices for you and your life.
That Happens Too
Every mistake in life doesn't need a correction.
Going Into The Tunnel
But mostly, I go into the Tunnel. It's some black void where no sound other than my own breathing seems to exist.
Thumbs and Adaptation
Life is about adapting, and so is CrossFit.
I Can't Make You
You have to decide if you have a warrior's soul, if you're a CrossFitter.
One Woman’s Manifesto
I am not too old for anything. I’m too young for life on the couch.
All The Words You Need Today
Only 12 words. Life is simpler than you realize.
Stop Your Sobbing
All progress is born of frustration.
Pick Up The Bar
You've been trained, now stop thinking so much. Just do.
The Gym Is No Different
The gym is no different. What you get out of your experience is going to be directly related to what you put into it—physically and emotionally.
Pay Attention
Good times tell you nothing. Adversity reveals.
Build Your World
The opportunities are as wide and as open as I want them to be. The only limiting factor is my mind.
Making It Look Easy
If everybody thinks they can do what you do (in the workout, in the gym, in your business or your life) pat yourself on the back: You're a success. You made hard work look easy.
