🔥Q1 reality check:

Most people want progress.
Very few want standards.

Head judging Turku Turbulence. 🌪️
Loud, fast, slightly chaotic (in the best way).
Great athletes, great energy… and yes, standards still apply.

Depth matters. Lockout matters. Details matter.

Back at Coaches Congress and meeting my L2 coach. Continuing education matters, because the moment you think you know enough, you don’t.

Training?
Not every day felt good.
Varied training between CrossFit, skiing and running.

Sauna. Often.
Because recovery is part of the job, not a reward after it.

Recertified. Because coaching isn’t vibes and loud playlists. It’s responsibility.

Hot take:
If you ignore standards in training, don’t expect them to magically appear in competition.

No shortcuts. No “kind of”.
Just doing the work properly, when no one’s clapping.

Built, not hyped. 🔥

International community came together at 2025 — we raised the bar, again.

❤️‍🔥12 nations showed up!

From the first heat to the final buzzer, this wasn’t just about elite performances. It was about every person who made it happen.
The volunteers. The team leaders. The crew.

💪🏻Relentless. Committed. Unmatched.

🎙️Massive respect and gratitude to Brian Friend, whose presence, insight, and professionalism inspire me to be more. And to Hannu Pajari — thank you for the trust and the push behind the scenes. Again. ❤️

Every athlete who stepped on the floor — thank you. You gave us grit, heart, and one hell of a show.

🏋🏻 🎉Turku Tuomiopäivä delivers again — tough workouts, top-level athletes, no shortcuts.

Long days on the mic mean I need to stay sharp. After the final heat, it’s straight to recovery with TEHO. Simple and effective.

🏋🏻In my career, I’ve learned that gratitude is not just something to feel—it’s something to live. Every day, every session, I’m reminded of the privilege it is to guide others on their fitness journey.

👩🏻‍🏫Coaching is about more than teaching movements or counting reps; it’s about trust. The trust my athletes place in me, and the trust I place in them. This mutual commitment is the foundation of everything we do.

🎉I’ve been fortunate to witness the growth of so many incredible individuals—athletes who’ve faced challenges both in and outside the gym, and found strength they didn’t even know they had. It’s humbling to be a part of that process.

Every personal record, every moment of doubt turned into determination, every victory, big or small—reminds me that we’re all capable of so much more than we think.
The trust I build with my athletes is one of the most sacred parts of my job. It’s an honor to be there, supporting them when they feel uncertain and guiding them when they struggle. Coaching isn’t just about perfecting a movement or hitting a goal—it’s about being a partner in their journey, helping them realize their potential when they might not yet see it.

I’m incredibly grateful to be working with —they’ve been a true partner in this journey this year by bringing TEHO training day.

To my athletes: thank you for trusting me with your dreams, struggles, and progress. Watching you grow in unexpected ways has been the most rewarding part of my career. You inspire me every day, and I am endlessly grateful to be part of your journey.

Here’s to building more than just strength—here’s to building trust, confidence, and community. To the journey, wherever it takes us! Let’s get after those workouts! 💪🏻❤️

💥🌧️ Day 2: Turku Tuomiopäivä - Rain or Shine, We Compete 🌧️💥

Friday’s competition brought a rain warning, but that didn’t dampen anyone’s spirits! Yläkenttä was buzzing with excitement as the elite athletes faced two intense events despite the weather. The crowds were full of energy, and even at the commentator booth, we could feel the anticipation in the air.

ELITE EVENT 2: ROPE BURNER was a pyramid chipper that tested every athlete’s limits. From double unders to thrusters, toes to bar, and rope climbs, it was a challenge, but the determination on display was awe-inspiring. The rain couldn’t stop them, and the crowd cheered louder with every rep.

**ELITE EVENT 3: CLEAN SPECTACLE** was a true show of strength and strategy. A Clean Complex ladder with pre-set weights, and only one attempt per lift. Tents were set up to shield the athletes from the rain, but the atmosphere remained electric as we watched athletes push their limits with each lift.

Closing out the day in the rain felt like a badge of honor. Sitting next to , a powerhouse in the CrossFit world, was an experience I’ll cherish. His insights and professionalism reminded me once again why I love this sport. Grateful for every moment 🙌

🏖️☀️Day 1: Turku Tuomiopäivä - A Sunny Start at Ispoinen Beach ☀️🏖️

Thursday kicked off the elite competition at the beautiful Ispoinen beach, under a cloudless sky and with a joyful atmosphere. No audience meant it was an intimate gathering of athletes, friends, and fellow competitors, making the vibe feel like a close-knit community. The event was a true test of endurance—a gruelling combination of biking, ski erg, and running that pushed everyone to their limits. Despite the intensity, the camaraderie was evident everywhere you looked.

Being part of the organising team and live stream commentary crew, it was inspiring to witness such raw determination and athleticism firsthand. The passion in this community is truly unmatched, and I’m beyond grateful to play a role in bringing this event to life! 💪

Torstai käynnisti eliittikilpailun upealla Ispoisten rannalla, pilvettömän taivaan alla ja iloisessa tunnelmassa. Ilman yleisöä tapahtuma oli intiimi kokoontuminen urheilijoiden, ystävien ja kilpa kumppanien kesken, mikä loi yhteisöllisen ja lämpimän ilmapiirin. Tapahtuma oli todellinen kestävyystesti—vaativa yhdistelmä pyöräilyä, ski ergiä ja juoksua, joka vei kaikki osallistujat äärirajoille. Intensiteetistä huolimatta toveruus oli näkyvillä kaikkialla.

Osana järjestelytiimiä ja live-lähetyksen kommentointiryhmää oli inspiroivaa todistaa tätä raakaa päättäväisyyttä ja urheilullisuutta omin silmin. Tämän yhteisön intohimo on todella vertaansa vailla, ja olen äärettömän kiitollinen, että saan olla mukana tuomassa tätä tapahtumaa eloon! 💪

🏇Lauantaipäivä näiden ravihevosten kanssa. LET’S GO !!!

Yksilövalmennus on mulle erittäin mieleistä. Tunnen olevani etuoikeutettu kun pääsen näkemään kehitystä läheltä ja saan olla osana urheilijan treeniä viikko ja päivätasolla.

Kiitos luottamuksesta mimmit!

🏋🏻 Valmentaja on enemmän kuin valmentaja, m***a valmentaminen ei ole elämäntapa. Se on työtä, joka vaatii sitoutumista.

Valmentajana sitoudut auttamaan ihmistä matkalla, kun hän tekee itsestään parempaa versiota. Muista silloin pysyä kurinalaisesti kiinni perusasioissa. Jos et voi tai et halua tehdä sitä, valitse toinen työ.

———

You are not just a coach and coaching is not just a lifestyle. it is a job.

Your job is to make people better. And your job is to stay disciplined with sticking to the fundamentals.

If you can’t do that, or if you don’t want to do that, pick another field.

To be great, you must thrive for virtuosity.

Not just in sports but in business and anything you really want to be good at. It’s not a mistake that successful folks are successful.

I coach to spread the word about health and empowerment that it brings to us. Science of sports is a deep sea of information and it can be hard to find the reality between all fab diets and exercise regiments. I firmly follow Crossfit methodology because I have seen results you couldn't believe. More about Crossfit here: https://www.crossfit.com/what-is-crossfit
