COACH.
There are a lot of titles Iโve held in my life, but there is something incredibly special about being called Coach.
I can officially add CrossFit Level 4 Coach (CF-L4) to that title.
I trusted the process. I followed the way. I passed the exam. I EARNED the certificate.
Yesterday someone asked me, โSo what does this change?โ
My answer? Absolutely nothing.
Today, I walked into the gym and did exactly what I did yesterday. I gave everything I have to give to every athlete I have the privilege of coaching. Iโll keep learning, asking questions, accepting feedback and working to get better.
Because earning the highest coaching credential CrossFit offers does not mean the work is finished.
It means the standard gets even higher.
And there is absolutely no way I got here alone.
To my husband โ thank you for always supporting my crazy dreams, even when it takes me across the country regularly โค๏ธ
To my Ironclad Crew โ thank you for your unwavering support and belief in me, especially when I questioned myself. You ALWAYS believed in me.
To the Best Hour of Their Day Coach Development Team and L4 Coaches I trained under โ everything. I am a product of your program, and I could not be more grateful.
But maybe the most important part of this accomplishment has nothing to do with the title of CF-L4.
Itโs what I hope my children see.
I want them to know that you can absolutely become anything you want to become. You can become one of the best in the world at something you love โ but you have to work hard, ask for help, accept and implement feedback and ALWAYS be learning.
This certification is validation that I AM one of the best CrossFit coaches in the world โ and I am incredibly proud of that.
But tomorrow, someone will walk through the doors of Ironclad, trust me with their health, fitness and a piece of their life, and simply call meโฆ
Coach.
And THAT will always mean more than any letters and numbers after my name.
CF-L4 earned โ๏ธ
The Level 4 might be the highest certification you can achieve, but for me and for Ironclad, this is just the beginning. Big things are coming. The good fight continues ๐๐ผ
