Being able to overcome one’s fears is the first step to conquering one’s goals. I feel as if this is a perfect example of what CrossFit has done for me. It has made me realize that many things that seem near impossible, are actually closer to being obtained than we may think. It has provided an outlet to allow me to challenge myself not only physically, but mentally as well. I was in athletics my whole childhood all the way up to college where I played football at Washington State University. While there, I received my Bachelor’s in Exercise Physiology and two minors; one in Business Management and the other in Strength and Conditioning. Throughout my years of playing football, I was taught the importance behind camaraderie, trust, and accountability. Once I stopped playing I needed an outlet to be able to continue to put these traits to use. I interned at Reebok CrossFit One from January 2018-April 2018 where after my time was complete, I became a full-time coach for them. Continue to dream big and strive for greatness, it just takes a lot of work and a little patience.
