So to those of you that are new and not completely comfortable with everything yet, or to those of you who are thinking about checking us out, I know you may be nervous about everyone else in class knowing more than you. I would ask you instead of seeing this as a disadvantage, to see this as a privilege. You get to be in a room full of experienced people to observe. You have a dozen other people you can watch and learn from. They only have the instructor.
I bet you had never thought of being the newbie as a luxury before, or that being in possession of less skill was actually an enviable position. You have the ability to learn from anyone in the room. You have knowledge on every side of you. Suddenly an environment that had been "I might fail if I don't remember" became "I am supported by the experience of my peers."
This makes me reflect on CrossFit in general and how the myriad of skills can be overwhelming, how it can feel like everyone knows things that you don't. That feeling can be overwhelming, and in some cases block you from attending class and from making progress. But what if you saw it as a luxury only you get? You're the only one in the room who has umpteen teachers. You can learn from anyone and everybody. Everything you do will be a step forward. As long as you just show up.
