Athlete of the Month Goals

Personal:

Professional: Working to finish up a year long women's leadership development program

Athletic: Stronger, faster, better overall athlete - I am fairly new to functional fitness (I am one of the few in the Weightlifting class that doesn't have lifters), I am working on increasing the weight on my lifts, unassisted pull ups (currently addicted the band), handstand push ups and learning to embrace Satan's Tricycle (Assault Bike).

Why do you choose MC CrossFit? The athletes and the coaches. At MC CrossFit the environment is one that is inviting and friendly. The athletes help to hold you accountable, even if it is unsolicited. You get pushed to work harder, go a bit heavier, finish one more rep. Each of the coaches are giving their knowledge and tips to help you improve and are there motivating you through the workouts. Thanks to the athletes and coaches for embracing me as part of the MC CrossFit community and pushing me everyday to be better!
