Favorite CrossFit movement:
Thruster! You don’t even know her!
What is one piece of advice to give your athletes?
Just one?
Perfect practice makes perfect. Whether you are warming up with just the barbell or kips on the rig they should be identical to the actual movement you are striving to get better at.
Be Humble. The end goal is not a 1 rep max it is overall fitness (mental and physical). It is okay to have an off day/s
What is your spirit animal and why?
Fox, they are sly and curious gingers sneaking in the background scheming when to pounce! Quiet but can be a chatterbox when you get to know them.
What is something most people don’t know about you:
Ever ride on a GOAT-cart? Ever take a sick day old puppy to church? Or a bunny to the mall? Yup that was my family! My mom never had animals growing up so when she had her own family and home we had a menagerie. We were the crazy family at the cul-de-sac with dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, and goats.
Favorite rest day activity in Hawaii:
An active rest day! Hiking! P.S. Sailing is NOT a rest day!
