Are you Coachable?
Well, are you?
By and large our system at CF Vancouver teaches you to be coachable. But we can always get better.
Tabata Times is an online magazine that connects “functional fitness content and community”. Some pretty good articles there.
Dave Lipson of CrossFit Invictus wrote for them 7 ways to make you more coachable.
This is what he came up with:
1. Show Up Early
2. Talk to your coach
3. Get in tight (this is a big one)
4. Slow it down when we go over progressions
5. Get eyes on you
6. Write your cues in a log
7. Stay after class
Good stuff there.
Atomic Athlete Austin has an interesting piece around the same topic. He also adds in reasons why you may not be coachable.
1. Ego – Willing to be wrong
2. Willingness to learn and unlearn
Get these two things right and you will be expediting yourself along the CrossFit curve.

Leaderboard score is the sum of your squat weights.

8. When someone points out you’re shorting a movement during a WOD. Don’t roll your eyes. Don’t whine. Fix it.

The old, ‘thank you sir, can I have some more’ motto works for me.
Seriously though… smile (this helps) and at least think ‘thank you’. A ‘no rep’ in class is better than a bunch of them during the Open or at another box you visit when you’re out of town.

40 registrants for our CFV Open Team so far.
We are going to be programming these workouts every Thursday for March… so why not???

CF 604 has 91 registrants….

Perhaps you should explain why we should pay to do some workouts?
(that’s what it boils down to, without the aforementioned explanation)

Isn’t it 5 bucks? C’mon Wendy!
By Wendy 25 Feb 2013
That is besides the point, Lars!
