2nd Day at The Coaches Prep Course
It is now Wednesday (3 days post of The Coaches Prep Course) and I feel already so much more empowered. Now it could be me being around such a group of quality coaches that rubbed on me a ton or it’s that I brought back so many tools back. The truth is…….both are true.
Ok, so on Day 2 we spent 3/4 of the day on programming. If the day couldn’t have got better it totally did. We went over “keeping a constantly varied program”, “how to detect a biased or targeted program”, “how much strength WOD should be present” and “what type of trends have been going on in the CF community”. All of this was so solid that I would have paid for just this day. I said the same for Day 1 also so I guess I really got twice the value that I paid. Let alone the time was so worth it.
I feel like I got more fired up being a coach and that this has made me a better coach. Not only did I take away great tips on how to improve my coaching, I feel more balanced. Being around Chris Spealler not only helped for coaching but I think overall. The first thing I talked to him about when I had a chance to chat with him was how he kept a balanced life, as a husband, father, business owner, and a CrossFit athlete? His answer was awesome. He said he has a very supportive wife and they have made a decision together that this is what their life is to be right now. That was just 3 hours into the seminar on a break and that conversation was another building block to the weekend.
So what do I feel now?
I feel like I have gotten another spark in me. I absolutely love coaching but as anything there needs to be a balance. Leaving Texas this weekend I got more love for what I do. I have always loved coaching and have never lost it but I feel like I have more to give that I never thought I had. I’m excited!

Birthday WOD
Saturday
I knew that saturday was going to be a packed day and that I was going to be semi-celebrating my bday so I went in to SWCF a little early before my 1st session and I snuck in a strength WOD: Push Jerk
Strength:
Push Jerk
5/5/5/5/5
135/145/155/165/170
3/3/3
175/175/175
This was pretty tight because my old 1RM is 195 and I was Jerking 175 as 3 RM. If I wasn’t pressed for time I would messed around with my 1RM but another time.
Sunday:
Absolute rest day and hang out with my family. Took the kids to the park with my sister (karebear) and then rested a bunch.
Tomorrow is my 32nd birthday and I’m siked to hit my “Birthday WOD”. Corey programmed it. I figure it wasn’t doing anyone a favor programming what I wanted in my bday workout, so I knew Core would step it up and he did.

StoneWay CrossFit Nutrition Seminar
We will be meeting at 8am for our Nutrition Seminar along with posting our nutrition seminar on May 1st, 2010 online. In this seminar you will be given list of good foods and bad foods, Paleolithic and Zone diet information, meal planning tips, and a website you can post your food so other can see your foods and you can see others. You are not required to attend or watch this seminar but are highly encouraged. After the seminar we will be having a “before” photo session. Each week we will post a client we interviewed so they can share helpful tips for the journey.
How do I sign up?
You may sign up on the day of the photo shoot, but to help us prepare it would be helpful if you signed up via email (coachscott@stonewaycrossfit.com) ASAP! You may pay with cash or check on Saturday May 1st. Feel free to invite any friend or family members to join in on the fun. When you sign up, your name will be put on a list along with the best email address to reach you. We will send out all documents that will help you prepare and succeed in this challenge.
We will be encouraging everyone at StoneWay CrossFit to join the challenge. Any link or helpful tip we have, we will pass to you through your email. We will share people’s experiences throughout the challenge with personal interviews that will hopefully help and encourage you. Other gyms that have done similar challenges have found that the folks who log their food intake and share their log with others are the most successful in the challenge.
Obviously, a potentially huge cash prize would be awesome to win, but in reality, everyone who participates and completes the challenge will be a champion Nutrition is the foundation of being fitter and ultimately living a better life. The Looking Better Naked Challenge is a step in the right direction. Our goal is not to stop this “fashion” on eating good and living better after this 6 week challenge but to start a trend of clean living for life. If you eat well and clean you perform a lot better in everything you do!
End of School Party
June 19th will be the day we all meet up and determine the winner. Ceremony will begin @ 10am. We will all go over everyone’s before and after photos then we will vote. We will be voting on who has made the most dramatic change. Both Males and Females will be in different categories.
