People often look at athletes and say oh the just have good genetics, while this is true genetics alone aren't what got them to where they are today. Its years upon year of them developing their craft, paying attention to the details, and not excepting anything less the perfection. It can be easy to over look all this when you take a snapshot of a persons athletic journey.

Here is the website I use to keep tabs on upcoming competitions: www.beastessathletics.com If you find one you want to go to, let me know! Right now it looks like we are sending athletes to the CrossFit Alpha Dog comp, the Chicago Open, and maybe the Iron Egg in October. The beauty of having a small class right now is I can program for you according to your competitor date. The sooner I know you're going to a comp, the sooner we can start preparing.
