We get a lot of people through our doors who are brand new to CrossFit. Many poke their heads in, watch what's going on, and decide they could never do what you guys are doing every day in class. But then there are the ones who think, what the hell. I'll try it. That takes a huge amount of guts and a leap of faith. Our weekly dose of awesome was one of those newbies who didn't second guess himself - he just dove in and went for it.
David S. has been going for it ever since he first walked through those doors a long time ago. Not without some initial trepidation, but he learned to put it aside and get his game face on. It's great to see someone get that look of determination on their face as they set for a lift, or grip the rings for a skin-the-cat, and David S. has mastered that mental grit needed to trust your body and training, and just go for it.
We're so happy to count David S. as one of us and his positivity is downright catchy in class - David, you sir, are totally awesome!
