CFK Athlete(s) of the Month - December
Wow, what a month it has been, what achievements you have all banked. This months athlete of the month could have easily been any one of you, and the selection was super challenging. As it stands, we decided to award this months athlete of the month to two seriously talented athletes who represent some of the heart of CFK. Those two athletes are none other than :
Coach Mark Eaton
Coach Donie Cunningham
Coach Donie suffered a major injury a couple of years ago that would have seen 90% of us hang up our boots, and 2.5 weeks ago the man pulled 215kg off the floor in a deadlift and split je**ed 105kg and is talking about doing a 100km race. Donie has his own unique style of coaching that everyone responds so well to because overall he is such an affable character (although there are many who have spoken of the "tabata tune" night sweats on a Friday night). At the same time he is dark horse, a total rogue and one to watch. If only we could get him to speak English!
Coach Mark, is like the Kinsale love child of Tony Robbins/Jason Mamoa. His time, patience and interest in people seems unending, and he walks the walk of a top class coach. Mark works away in the background slowly persevering with goals, and where like all of us he sometimes struggles with goals, he is unswerving, committed, dedicated and each day shows up and gets s**t done which was exemplified this month by him hitting a 100kg sn**ch which has been a goal he has chased hard and won! And lets face it, the man looks good in a pair of budgie smugglers!!!!
We are so blessed to have these two boys coaching at CFK, and more than proud to call them out for their achievements as Dec CFK Athletes of the month. Thank you both for all you do!
