Ok. We’re back for another round of Lesson Planning. Let’s get a squad together and learn some things! Because…let’s get real — coaching, albeit simple in theory, requires work! It may look easy, but it ain’t!!!

Details:

🗓️: May 8th // End: May 29th (4 x 90 min sessions)

⏰: 4pm EST 🇺🇸

💻: Zoom In

👥: 5 Spots (let’s keep it cozy)

📝: Homework (Yes! You get out what you put in)

🤜🏼🤛🏼: Teamwork!! We will work as individuals and together.

No matter where you currently are, a plan with purpose is a plan that doesn’t fail. It can’t. There are always lessons to be learned. We don’t need perfect, we need purpose.

To improve is to know. Planning provides the know.

We may not have 10,000 hours, but I’m pretty certain we can find 6 hours if it matters.

Join the LPG Squad! Link in bio. Starting Thursday May 8th at 4pm EST. Questions? Let us know.

Do you know?

Answer this and see what happens.

You have to know before you can get, so what do you want? What matters to you?

You have the answers.

Are you willing to do what it takes?

Most are not.

But, are you?

Day One of the 3-Day CDP: First Layers - Skeletons Drive Consistency ☠️

Jason Quental joins us from the tropics of New Jersey as he invests time, effort, and emotion to get uncomfortable and hear some truths about where he is so he can get to where he wants to be. Sometimes, you gotta go find it!

Whether we are aware of it or not, the comforts of one’s own gym lull you into familiar and “safe” territories, it will tell you what you want to hear. The CDP will offer you what you need to hear. If you are coming to us, this you already know and crave. Jason knew it! He crushed it.

At the end, you get to choose what you take away. After all, it’s just feedback. However, you must:

Be willing • Explore Uncertainty • Try • Apply Oneself

Today - Group Management and Teaching ✅ An organized coach doesn’t waste time. Onto Day Two…

Rock n’ roll, Jay! @jasonquental #JasonFromNJ

One day with the right people, in the right place, is all you need to start the journey.

Congratulations to Johnny for completing the One-Day CDP with Rob Lawson at CrossFit Aberdeen. We know it’s a heavy lift to make the time, find the finances, and take yourself out of the “death zone” (aka comfort zone), but you did it all! Equip CrossFit are lucky to have a leader who cares enough to keep learning. 🩶

Now, it’s time to take a breath, reflect on the experience, make some notes, and then get to work. Now, the work begins! We will be in touch soon 👊🏼

Thanks for all the love, Rob. Above and beyond is all you know, my friend 🙌🏼

The next CDP will be held at CrossFit One Nation in Needham, MA - May 28-31. It will be a 3-Day Course. Link to register in bio. Capped at 3 coaches.

Coaching is caring, folks! Go care on your people 🦅

Yes. Standards matter.

Coaches - If you want your athletes to care about standards, then so must you. You get to share the care at the whiteboard every time you coach. Are you currently briefing standards, consistently? Are you setting expectations? If not, how will your athletes ever learn to be accountable? How will they learn to care about quality, precision, and speed of movement? A good ole “no rep” is fuel for the soul. It tells us, “I need to expect more of myself! I need to pull harder, squat lower, jump or throw higher, run faster! It provides a moving target for results. That mindset combined with the coaches watchful eye and direction, is a recipe for magic!

CrossFit asks a lot of both the Coach and athlete. If we don’t have standards then the ask becomes fuzzy at best and the results…meh! Help them understand why standards matter in CrossFit. Educate them on the importance of being held accountable and earning the right to progress. Be the leader they need and take ownership of YOUR class! What do YOU stand for as a CrossFit coach? Are you coaching or just instructing? Are you just telling them what to do or are are you telling, looking, fixing, and repeating over and over and over again?! Reminding them of the expectation.

Yes, standards matter. You bet your a** they matter. The healthy relationship between self and standard is the kind of competitiveness that instills the belief you are capable and you can do hard things. It calls out your bulls**t and it won’t let you get away with selling yourself short.

So, if you’re not already doing it, starting tomorrow, brief standards and set the expectation so our people can rise above and beyond their current states.

Hold your line. Don’t sell your soul for a quick fix. Be the coach they need. And, do it with kindness and genuine compassion. ❤️

They gotta know to do! Help them.

CDP Affiliate Package - Chimney Rock CrossFit, NJ (March 2023)

We don’t post too much about the Coach Development Program for various reasons, but one big one is that we believe if you need it you will find it.

If you are looking for help it’s likely you really want it, which is why every affiliate/coach that has reached out to us, are usually the “right” fit for this program. By “right” I mean being open, humble, hard working, and vulnerable. The CDP is not a walk in the park and it will “burn” at times, but those who can withstand the heat most always come out better. If they don’t, perhaps they weren’t ready for the “real talk” or they didn’t do the work! They are other possibilities too, but these are the big ones.

What’s interesting about “doing the work” is that it isn’t complex at all, but it does require A LOT of repetition in refining what some may label as “boring”. Well, improving skill sets take time, and if the foundation is lacking it needs time to rebuild. It doesn’t have to be enjoyable to be effective. And, a lot of times it may not be.

This always leads us back to the million dollar affiliate/coach question:

WHAT ARE WE TRYING TO ACHIEVE? GOALS?

Yes, we know that it’s “about the journey not the destination”…and so on. BUT, there has to be a metric by which we can evaluate or how do we know if we’re on the right track. Feelings can get in the way real easy!

Chimney Rock CrossFit was 100% the right gym. Billy is a wonderful affiliate owner, leader, and human. The CRCF coaches are a reflection of him, and the members are a reflection of the coaches. And guess what? The members are awesome! ❤️

@chimneyrockcrossfit THANK YOU for having us! Your community left a lasting impression and we cannot wait to check back in!

If you’re in the Chimney Rock, NJ area, and you want to try CrossFit, the CDP gives CRCF a huge stamp of approval!

Keep ya standards high and your smiles big, friends!

Workouts can hit people differently. This was one of those workouts.

21-15-9-15-21 reps of:
Shoulder-to-Overhead (135/95)
Box Jump Overs (24/20”)

For some this is a sub 8-minute workout. This involves unbroken STOH and (likely) rebounding the BJO’s. For these athletes, it will feel like 79 STOH for time…with a few annoying box reps.

For others, it could be closer to 10-15 minutes. This is still within the “intended” stimulus, but may feel slightly differently. The STOH are not unbroken, athletes are forced to rest due to muscular fatigue, and the BJO’s take longer. For these people, this is still preserving stimulus…even though it isn’t (and shouldn’t be) under 8-minutes.

For those who want to do all the reps, w/ the RX load, but take closer to 20 minutes, we may have missed the mark. Still, training happened, but outside of the ask for the day.

The expectation of todays workout was to choose a load that could be performed with high quality movement and would only require 2 sets in the first 21-15, and possibly 3 sets in the second 15-21. That was the challenge.

Now, consider this - the same workout, different stimulus - the ask is for unbroken reps on all the STOH throughout. This would require going lighter for most people. Yes, lighter…not easier. Different. When was the last time you were asked to pick a weight that was challenging but you could go “unbroken”? Have you ever tried to do “Karen” (150 Wall Balls For Time) unbroken w/ a lighter ball?!

We can get strong with light/moderate loads under longer tension (aka more reps).

Months later, we do the workout again, this time the expectation is to go heavier than normal, still putting a premium on movement, and breaking 2-3 times is expected. Different stimulus. Different adaptation.

This is also variance. It’s training. It’s testing fitness. Done well, over the long-term, this approach is very effective in creating a strong base of general physical preparedness (GPP).

You are only limited by your (intentional) creativity. Challenge the status quo.

Set the expectation. Modify to exceed the demand.
