How do I know that our programming is better? Because we don’t write it anymore. If you’ve coached CrossFit or been involved in it for some time, then I’m sure you can understand how negatively that statement can be perceived.

I used to be a fan of New Year’s resolutions. I would caution people to not try to take on too many, but none the less I was a fan. Now, not so much. I’m about to fall into the age old trap of assuming that just because something worked for me, it will work for you, but I’ve been …
