New Shadow Coach – Mitch Walker

By: 0

Hey everyone! You'll be seeing a new Shadow hanging out with some of our current Coaches and starting the process of possibly becoming a Coach at CrossFit South Bend! He will be currently entering into Phase 1 of our 4 Phase Coaching Process. The process has become more extensive with each of our amazing coaches that have went through it and have given feedback with it - wish Mitch some luck!
During this phase the coach will be - amongst other things
*Performing demos for movements
*Making minor form corrections
*Watching the main coach manage time, coach, control the class, etc.
*Upholding movement standards
etc,etc...
So be receptive to Mitch if he comes around and starts to give out some cues here and there, he is a knowledgeable person otherwise we wouldn't be throwing him into the mix :)
A few things about Mitch, he was born and raised in South Bend Indiana and have lived here my entire life, played high school football.
Mitch is really passionate about learning other people stories and where they came from.  I really enjoy working with kids and helping people on a much personal level. So don't be surprised if Mitch comes around to get to know you.
A note from Mitch: As a kid I always envision myself helping people whether that was being a police officer or even a counselor. After my car accident and having a second chance with life, I have been really driven to have some sort of impact on people's lives.

CFSB Wellness Wednesday-Special Edition: LaSalle Grill In this special edition of Wellness Wednesday we take you on a tour of one of the best restaurants in South Bend, LaSalle Grill. Laurel, one of our awesome members, was nice enough to let us take a tour of LaSalle Grill. -We got to take a tour of the kitchen where we saw all the fresh ingredients LaSalle uses to make their food. -We got to sit in on queue time with Chef Rob where the entire staff goes over the daily menu with the head chef. -Lastly, I took a look at their menu and talked about which healthy food options you could order there. LaSalle grill is the perfect type of restaurant to have a healthy meal that is absolutely delicious. -They make their meals from fresh, real whole food ingredients. -Every day the menu is different. Why? Because they use seasonal and local ingredients which not only taste much better but are healthier for you. -They cook everything in either butter or olive oil, which are both much healthier than the seed oils used in most restaurants. If you're looking for healthy eating in South Bend that is absolutely delicious you need to check out LaSalle Grill.

So try to show up on time for class - if you miss some of the warm up you might be SOL for this workout. Pacing: This is all performed at 80-90% effort...meaning I want consistent scores throughout each matching piece. So that should play into your weight selection. If you'll notice, We've been prescribing Rx'd weights less and less - because you are all individuals and differ greatly, think of the intent of getting the correct stimulus the RX'd on these workouts. for instance I should see... 1: 45 reps, 51 reps, 43 reps, 49 reps 2: 44 reps, 48 reps, 42 reps, 47 reps Keep the rounds close Power Snatch, Wall Balls: Pick a weight that allows you to not have to break the reps up.
