The CrossFit Games Preparation Must Begin!
Written by C.J. Martin
Since last July’s trip to Aromas I have heard several of you mention an interest in competing in some sort of CrossFit Games competition. I strongly suggest to anyone with an interest in competing that they do so. Competition is a great test of how far you can push yourself and of what you can overcome. You will be forced to confront and harness anxiety and excitement in ways for which our typical daily lives do not provide. For competitive athletes this provides an adrenaline rush that is hard to match, and for those who have not competed in team or individual sports in the past, it is an experience that you should not pass up. Even if you are not sure you’re cut out to win the CrossFit Games, throwing your hat into the arena will be an extremely rewarding experience.
If you are interested in competing, I only ask that you let me know as soon as possible. The Invictus coaches and I will do everything in our power to help you prepare to do your best. We will coach you to get on a schedule and nutrition plan that will optimize your individual performance. But be warned, we are not here to feed egos and we aren’t concerned with where any of our athletes rank at the end of the competition. We’re here to help you achieve what you don’t believe is possible for yourself. If you understand that only your performance, and not the performance of others, is within your control, you will prepare yourself to excel. So, if you’re interested in competing to challenge yourself and willing to prepare in a way that prioritizes personal achievement over competition results, please contact me at cj@crossfitinvictus.com.
was planning on giving it a shot at the CF SD/AZ sectional but, thanks to the navy, I will be gone that weekend. oh well…maybe next year. good luck to all that decide to compete this year!
