HAVE FUN & YOU WILL NEVER LOSE

When You Reach An Obstacle, Turn It Into

An Opportunity. You Have The Choice. You Can

Overcome And Be A Winner, Or You Can Allow

It To Overcome You And Be A Loser. The Choice Is

Yours And Yours Alone. Refuse To Throw In The

Towel. Go That Extra Mile That Failures Refuse To

Travel. It Is Far Better To Be Exhausted From Success

Than To Be Rested From Failure. -Mary Kay Ash

DON'T GET BUCKED OFF

There Are Times In Our Lives When The World Seems

To Buck Us Off And Knock The Wind Out Of Us. Things

Happen That Blindside Us And Leave Us Gasping For
Breath. Sometimes, We Face Situations That Force Us

To Re-Evaluate Everything We Believe In And Test Our

Commitment To Ourselves And Our Dreams. Don't Make

A Rash Or Emotional Decision. Before Taking Action, Take

A Few Minutes To Breathe And Figure Out What Is REALLY

Going On. Be Honest With Yourself. Pay Attention To What

Comes Up. Focus On What Is Best For You - Not What

You Should Or Think You Should Do For Everyone Else -

Just YOU. Get Knocked Down Get Back Up!!

UNDERSTAND OR CORRECT?

For Me, The Most Important Thing Is; If You Are Wrong

Admit It; Do Not Pretend To Know Everything. You Are,

Just As Everyone Else, A Human Being Who Makes Mistakes.

There Are Thousands Of Ways To Leave The Other Person

With Dignity And Let Him/Her Feel Worthy And Clever But,
Before You Try To Teach And Correct Someone Try To


Understand Him/Her And Make A Decision To Understand,

Instead Of Correcting. In One Word, Criticism Is Useless, Its

A Very Dangerous Weapon, And Criticism Will Never Correct

The Situation We Condemn. Listen & Understand!!

Your Protection And Your Many Signs Along The Way. Thank

Bang For Your Buck

Our Bodies Are Constantly Breaking Down Due

To A Variety Of Stressors. For Optimal Recovery,

It Is Essential To Get Nurtients, Vitamins And

Minerals That Are Of A Higher Quality. Unprocessed

Foods Have A Higher Quality And Quantity Of

Nutrients. By Taking In A Higher Quality In Food,

We Eliminate The Need To Take In A Higher

Quantity Of Food. Essentially The Body Is Getting

More "Bang For The Buck", So Work Hard And

Be Creative When It Comes To Eating Healthy.

Your Body Will Thank You For It.

LIFT FAST TRAIN FASTER

For Every Movement We Make No Matter How

Big Or Small Our Nervous System Sends A Signal

To The Muscle That We Want To Contract,

Allowing It To Contract. Simply Put The Speed

In Which Our Nervous System Communicates Can

Actually Be Trained To Respond Faster Or Slower

Depending On How We Train. Muscles Are Like

Elastics In The Sense That They Store Elastic Energy,

The Greater The Speed Of The Muscle Lengthening

The Greater The Speed And Force Of The Contraction.

The Principal Of Elastic Potential Also Needs To Be

Practiced And Trained. The Combination Of These

Two Principles Creates Faster And More Powerful

Movements. Lift Fast Train Faster!!

HOW DO YOU THINK?

During A Time When The World Seems A Bit

Uncertain, Thinking Positive Is More Important

Than Ever. Positive Thoughts Are Being Felt By

Others All The Time, Whether You Understand It Or

Not. So, It's Important That We All Send Positive

Energy To Each Other Every Day. Positive Thinking Is

Often Blocked, Mentally, By Unpleasant Things That

Happen In Life. The Best Way To Mentally Counter This

Is To Turn That Unpleasantness Around. Reiterate To

Yourself That You Are Alive. If You Are Alive, You Can

Think, You Can Act, You Can Become What You Want To!

PASSION IS HUNGER

Passion Is Hunger -- To A Hungry Person,

The Choice Of Food Is Not As Important As

The Need To Be Filled. What Drives A Person To

His Destiny Is This Hunger. Unless A Man Knew

The Purpose For His Existence, There Will Be No

Hunger. Success Is Not Only Measured By Money

Or The Title Attached To A Person's Name, But

The FulFillment Of One's Calling. If A Person

Doesn't Have Passion, He May Be Wearing The

Wrong Hat. A Person Must Dig Into Their Heart

And Check Their Dreams, Their Desires. These

Treasures Are Kept In A Mans Heart!

WHY DO YOU LEAP

A Leap Of Faith Is Not A Leap Into The Dark,

A Leap Of Recklessness, A Leap Of Presumption,

Or A Leap Of Wild Speculation. Rather, It Is

A Leap Of Faith Into A Major Decision Or

Commitment That We Are Confident God Is

Directing Us To Take. A Leap Of Faith Can Mean

A Major Change In Our Lives That Takes Us Down

A New Pathway And Away From The Familiar.

The Convenient, Or The Comfortable. 2 Years

Ago I Took A Leap Of Faith When I Left What I

Knew & Practiced For Years, And Decided To

Join The CrossFit Community. These Last Few

Days In L.A. At The CrossFit Games 2011

Reminded Me Why I Love This Community & My

Life As A CrossFit Coach... Thanks Everyone!!
