Winter Sports Performance – Ian’s Story

During my Freshman year of highschool, a few of my rugby friends persuaded me to try out the Crossfit South Bend’s Sports Performance Program. I had never really took working out too seriously before this, so I gave it a shot because I knew it could be fun with all my friends that worked out there, and I needed the training with the rugby season coming up. My first impressions on the program was that it was way more beneficial for me than I thought it was going to be. My parents worked out at Crossfit many years ago and I remember how exhausted and sore they used to be coming home from doing a hundred pushups and running a few miles. Our camp does push us to the limits, but since it is a Sports Performance Camp, we work out in ways that made us all around stronger and more athletic, instead of just doing a big muscle straining workout.
The longer I went to the camp, the closer everyone became and Coach Carl became a good friend of us all. Everyone had fun and we enjoyed seeing each other everyday for a workout that we knew would make us better. From these exercises, I was able to lift and run like I never used to, and the gains from the Sports Performance Camp travelled to my game in rugby, making me more agile and stronger on the field. Week after week, lifting more and more and hitting your max was something everyone looked forward to and from the consistent training and repetition we were able to perfect lifts like squats, deadlifts, power lifts, etc. Along with Carl training us to become stronger, quicker, and more athletic, he also taught many things about fueling our bodies, recovery methods, foods to avoid and eat, and much more about living the healthiest lifestyle we can.
Crossfit South Bend’s Sports Performance Camp was essential for me reaching my goals throughout highschool. Each year of Crossfit helped me with each year of rugby, and I was able to accomplish what I wanted to on the team and on the field with the help of the camp. My favorite part from my four years of Crossfit was the fact that my friends and I were able to have a fun time, but still achieve the incredible workout that we were seeking for. Crossfit South Bend’s Sports Performance Camp is a way for you to make friends and push yourself to become the athlete that you want to be, no matter what sport you’re training for.
