Everytime I travel I make it a point to visit a few CrossFit boxes , and contradictory to a commonly held perception, Im YET to witness or experience any bad programming, coaching, or instruction. In fact, Im always able to learn a thing or two from my vists, pertaining to both business and coaching. Are there some bad coaches and boxes that exist? Of course! Just as there are bad doctors, lawyers, teachers, taxi drivers, schools, hospitals.....and the list goes on. However, I still maintain that people dont get hurt from CrossFit because it is a flawed methodology, people sometimes get hurt because CrossFit is a sport, and like ANY sport, injury is a possibility. As the fittest woman in the world, Samantha Briggs recently said if you are scared of the possibility of injury then sports are not for you. Brazils star soccer player, Neymar was recently seriously injured and I guarantee we wont hear any negative press about the dangers of soccer or over the top propaganda encouraging our young kids to pursue safer sports like badminton and archery. So...to those folks riding that Crossfit is dangerous bandwagon you can have your ellipticals, , body pump classes and leg extension/lat pulldown machines, Ill be over here climbing ropes, running sprints and picking up heavy sh*t and putting it back down. (U wont get that if u havent seen the commercial) #earlymorningrant #hatingonthehaters #crossfitisnotforeveryonebutitsforme
