Crossfit has taught me alot of things. The main thing is never to give up, no matter how hard a workout is. I have wanted to stop many a times, but I never have and the feeling of finishing and completing something you thought might be impossible is amazing. I have learned to push through, break mass reps into small sets and play mind games with myself to keep going. These same principles carry into every day life. A long day at school or work, a hard test, or a disagreement with a friend or parent all seem more manageable. Things in life don't always work out the way we want or plan, but you don't give up. You keep trying, working harder and getting better and it always pays off.
What does it mean to be an Olympian? It's something such a very few people on the planet will ever experience. It is something such a very few people are capable of, physically or mentally. As we near the summer Olympics in London, think what it means to be an Olympian. Think about why it is we are so fascinated with their stories, and what we find for ourselves in watching them, cheering for them, and crying with them.Warm Up-2x
