Last weekend, I coached two incredible athletes at the Age Group CrossFit Games for the first time in my professional career.
Going into an event like this, I was unsure what to expect, but I knew that managing and supporting two different athletes, who for the most part competed back to back, would pose some challenges for a rookie coach like myself.
Throughout the whole weekend, I was surrounded by my team and was able to lean on them for support, as well as learn a few things along the way.
I am beyond grateful for this incredible opportunity as a coach, and I am looking forward to the next time I get to support my athletes at an incredible event like this.
Coaching at this level is exhilarating, incredible fulfilling, and challenging for me. It’s really cool how something that was a passion project of mine quickly found its way into becoming a part of my career.
I want to give a HUGE thank you to all of the coaches that have mentored me and helped me develop into the coach I am today and the coach I am becoming. None of this would have happened without your teachings and support. You know who you are.
Janelle and Andrea, I am so incredibly proud of the work that you two put in leading up to the Games, as well as your efforts over the weekend. It was already a huge accomplishment to get to this point, but you both showed grit and put forth your best throughout the weekend, despite adversity in some situations.
Let’s do it again, shall we? ❤️🔥
