Dream Big
“Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family. Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one.” -Jane Howard, Families
I am living a dream. When I first tried CrossFit three years ago, it took me six months to go back and finally join. I had no idea then how this sport would change my life.
I wasn’t a very happy person back then, and it’s taken time for me to make changes in my life, develop healthy habits and find a fulfilling career, to make me happy. A big part of this transformation is thanks to the people I’ve met along the way.
I was having drinks with friends at the Midtown Taco Mac on a Wednesday night last October when I decided to open a CrossFit affiliate. Sure, I’d rolled the idea around in my head before, but on that night it clicked.
Since then, I’ve been a hot mess of emotions, but I have a zillion people to thank for mentoring me, teaching me what it takes to run a successful CrossFit affiliate, for pushing me toward my goal, and for scooping me up and putting me back on track when I stumbled.
Today we open a business that will help people improve their lives. I am so humbled by the support of my friends and family throughout this process.
Thank you to:
-my family, for always telling me I can do anything and encouraging me to make the world a better place…even when I doubt myself, you believe in me.
-every affiliate owner who took the time to share your wisdom and advice.
-the other trainers I’ve worked with; clients I’ve coached; athletes I’ve trained with; to the people I’ve met at competitions, certifications, seminars and other CF events for making the community what it is.
-the team at The BIZ and the whole Tribe network/family for setting me up for success.
-Coach Glassman for creating this amazing sport and community.
Finally, thanks to our small and growing community at CrossFit Midtown. I am so excited to see what the future holds.
Without my clan… my network… my tribe… my family, this dream would never have come to fruition.
What are your goals? Set some. Then share them. You’d be surprised at who can help.
