Rookies

I had the opportunity to coach three of our new teammates this season through their rookie season on the Grid.

While this wasn’t the season we had hoped for on the standings, but don’t count these three out just yet.

We’ll be back
GO Wild

@juleskaczmarek joined the team as a veteran CrossFit athlete looking to try a new sport. It goes without saying her years of experience on a barbell made her a valuable piece of this team and her performances in Echoes and Ladders showed that to be true.

@veronikarussell74 had a bit more going on this season off the Grid as she was actively competing to make the CrossFit Games with her team when the season was kicking off. With all that added pressure, she was still able to commit to this team and show why she belongs on the Grid. Injuries cut her season short for the most part, but look out for next year with this one.

@gavin.damato …this guy. The prototype for what a Grid athlete can be. He joined the team with very little knowledge of what he’d actually be doing. Turns out there wasn’t a lot he couldn’t do. Fastest burpees in the league and fastest handstand walks in the league as a rookie is no small feat in a league where being the “fastest” is kinda the whole point. Sky is the limit for this kid. taken in ATL by @mattphelan

To know @mattphelan is to know that he is a student of his craft.

Constantly learning. Constantly upping his game. Constantly striving to be the best coach he can be.

So when you see Matt next, congratulate him on completing the Certified @crossfit Trainer (CF-L3) course! This is a huge accomplishment, one that we will all benefit from.

Congrats Matt!!!

Look for the pressure. Do your job.

Performance in CrossFit can be driven by a lot of factors. Very few of those however, will beat the feeling of being out on the floor to close out an event on your own for the team.

“Do your job, and do it well”

That was the goal this weekend at Syndicate for Veronika. Team competition asks a lot of an athletes and can put pressure on them to perform and not let teammates down.

It’s under that pressure where Veronika thrives and it showed in her ability to help her team perform over the weekend.
Congrats to V and her team on successful and competitive weekend.

Next up…Magic City Finals in July
