Why Isn’t Sage Coaching You?
Written by Michele Vieux
I don’t think a lot of you realize how lucky you are to have the opportunity to learn Olympic lifting from Sage. Just Google her name and see what pops up.
She would never tell you this herself, but she is one of the most highly-regarded Oly coaches around. She has been lifting since she was four-years-old and has been coaching adults in the Olympic lifts since she was a pre-teen. She now travels around the world as a head coach at the CrossFit Olympic Lifting Certifications and we have her here, on staff, at Invictus!
I have had many Invictus members share their amazement in this after they return from travels and visits to other CrossFits around the country. Go to any other box around the world and tell them that you are from Invictus and 98 percent of the time, the first thing they will say is, “Wow, you have Sage!”
There is always room to improve your Olympic lifts. They are very technical and even Olympians need improvement so don’t think that just because you have already taken the On-Ramp or have participated in Sage’s class that there isn’t more to learn.
The clinics allow her to work with you on your specific needs on a more personal level than is possible in the large group setting. Not only will you improve your snatch and clean & jerk, all other movements and skills will improve when you learn how to more efficiently move weight around you.
Sage is my coach. Sage is CJ’s coach. Sage should be YOUR coach. There are still a few slots left in the two-week Olympic lifting clinics at 9:30 and Noon and I encourage you to seize this opportunity (especially if you are in the LGFGPG Challenge).
I signed up for her upcoming class. I have gotten the same response by other Crossfit buddy’s about sage. Saying the same thing. How lucky I am to have her at our gym.
I’m signed up and looking forward to it!
this is the nicest post ever, M
I have had the fortune of Sage’s coaching. I signed up for a four week training with Pops.
We both learned so much and most importantly, trusted her immediately to do these crazy things she was asking us to do. The results were fantastic, I feel stronger and feel confident lifting that weight and knowing I won’t hurt myself. Thanks Sage, you are a fantastic coach and an asset to Invictus, Keep up the “loud” work!!!
