Teachable Moment:
WOD Moment… By: Coach Mike Cahill CrossFit Coach
Life happens, life throws you curve balls, and life definitely kicks you down, hard.
The big question is, did you accept mediocrity? Did you allow yourself to not give 100% effort and accept mediocrity…
I left three dots there because if you did, make a change, put a foot down and say you’ll never accept mediocrity ever again.
In life problems come about all the time, some small, some major. It is how you deal with them that defines your character. Do you take weight off during a workout because it’s hard? Do you say “I can’t” before you even try? If this repeatedly happens I am going to take a ‘wild guess’ on how you deal with problems that life gives you. ..how about proving me wrong. Check that, not me, how about proving YOURSELF wrong.
It is too easy to hide, too easy to not train or do the right thing when no one is watching. When did you the individual knowing not become enough? When was doing it for YOU not enough? Do it for yourself and no one else. Taking the easy way out will affect no one but you.
Life can be real hard, and so can many things we do in this gym. Don’t take the easy way out anymore. Elevate your mental fortitude inside this gym and I guarantee it will translate to life outside the gym.
