Mental Toughness – Overcoming Obstacles to Performance
Written by C.J. Martin

What separates the elite CrossFit athletes from their competition? Over the years of watching guys like Bridges, Speal, Dutch and others, I have noticed that it isn’t just athletic talent. At the upper echelon of our “sport of fitness” all of the men and women are ultra-fit. The workouts are won or lost on the ability to overcome all mental barriers to optimal performance. It means managing and harnessing pre-event anxiety and effectively blocking out that voice in their head telling them to rest so they may catch their breath. They have perfected the ability to stay focused on the task at hand regardless of their physical duress. 

Of course, nobody is better at this than our own military special forces. A good friend, former SEAL and BUD/S instructor has spent a lot of time researching and speaking with those who have mastered the ability to overcome fear, anxiety and duress to complete whatever task they have been assigned. He has been kind enough to offer to present his findings to our members for free next Tuesday night, June 23, at 7:30 p.m.

I strongly encourage all of you to attend. This is invaluable information that should not be missed. Please RSVP on the whiteboard at the gym, or email cj@crossfitinvictus.com.  And if you’d like to order a Mmmm Good Meal for dinner that night, please email michele@crossfitinvictus.com.
