Have you set any goals for your training and life this past month? 6 months? Year??

It is incredibly important to your development as a crossfitter but also as a person. Goal setting helps to develop and understand your vision for life and/or aspects in your life.

So how do you set goals? Here is a basic tool to follow:

SMART GOALS (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Timely)

This link is probably the best breakdown of how to develop your goal but all your coaches and other students can help you develop one. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMART_criteria

I want you all to think about what you really want to achieve in your training and set a goal based on that! Post your goals in comments! We need to see them to help you succeed.

Once you have that goal then make one for something else in your life

Athletes are visual learners.  We have to look at something to figure it out.  It goes right back to the way we learned when we were babies. Imitation.

Here is a link to several videos to illustrate what we are trying to accomplish with your form.  Have a look several times at each.
