In the words of Sam Cooke, "A Change is Gonna Come"!
Change is constant and can be good or bad. In my case, change is GREAT! I've been wanting for over a year to get my Level 1 Crossfit Trainer certificate and in November of 2011 I did. I also wanted to get my CrossfFit Kids certification and at the end of January...I received my CrossFit Kids Certification!!! WOOHOOO!!!
Now that I have these two certifications my fun coaching journey begins. I start coaching my own boot camp Monday Feb 20th at 6am! Every Monday Wednesday and Friday I'm going to help people get their day started off right! I can't wait to help people discover their strengths, set new goals and live a happier healthier life. My coaches helped me get to where I am and I only hope that I can provide the same support and encouragement they gave(give) me to my own clients. Check out the BayouCity CrossFit website for upcoming events and activities. If you're looking to get involved there is always something new going on. www.bayoucitycrossfit.com
I've started coaching the crossfit kids classes at BayouCity CrossFit and it is phenomenal. What a great opportunity to work with such fun and eager kids. Not to mention, I'm pretty sure my fellow crossfit kids coaches Charlie J. and Monica are the BEST! We have a wonderful team and a common goal - healthy fun kids (aka:super stars). Every time I'm done working with the kids I wear a permanent smile. It's amazing to see what these kids can do! Also, the parents are GREAT! I'm thankful for the parents who see what CF kids can do and taking the time and energy to bring them every Monday and Wednesday. It makes me sad to see how kids these days spend such little time outside and more time inside watching movies, playing video games or who knows what. So thanks to all the parents who get their kids involved in extra activities such as crossfit, softball, baseball, soccer, running, whatever it may be.
Now that I've started this journey it has pushed me further into some of my own goals. I've been lifting 4 days a week in addition to my regular WODs and I'm about to pick up running again to work on my endurance. It's a snowball effect, helping others, helping yourself and creating a positive atmosphere for those around me and a positive rewarding lifestyle for myself. Everyone wins!! SUCCESS!!
I would have never expected to be where I am today, but thanks to change..both good and bad, I'm here! Often times its hard for people to except change, especially when we're not sure if it's good. But even if it seems bad at the time, embrace it and make the best of it; because I can almost guarantee that it ends up being for the best.
So, here is what I'd like for you to do. Ask yourself what can you do to be a better person, what goal would you like to achieve, what's something you think you'd never be able to do. Write it down post it where you see it every day and go after it!! It's never too late to make a change and never too late to go after what you want.
Anything is possible when you put your heart into it!!
