120414

Day two in England marked the first day of Training Camp at CrossFit Central London.

I don’t really know how to describe the feeling of meeting, getting to know, and getting to coach a group of people who, while they are from an entirely different continent, have a unified desire to perform as well as humanly possible. I simply cannot believe that the tiny gym I opened over 5 years ago, which at numerous points felt like an utter failure, has afforded me the opportunity to do what I got to do today.

“I believe in professionalism, but playing is not like a job. You have to be grateful to have the opportunity to play.”
