Has anyone ever noticed Coach BVs twitches? Look closely and youll notice a head shake and a knee knock. Its gotten so that unless you know what to look for, you barely notice it. Tourettes is something that BV has been living with since he was about eight years old. His doctors prescribed all kinds of medication when he was a child, but he refused to take it because it made him feel slow and dumb. BV credits CrossFit and diet for helping him manage this condition. He also credits Tourettes for giving him that OCD work ethic and attention to detail we all know and love :) There are so many parallels to BVs story and a story that was featured on the CrossFit main site this week. Its pretty cool to see a feature on Tourettes in a CrossFit setting because the disease is something most people know little about. Most people think that people with Tourettes just scream the F Word all day long; and, although BV might do just that (especially when he finds out that a competition is all or nothing)....its very intentional and not at all a tic! From one Phoenix Fire Fighter to another, thank you Jacob for putting a spotlight on Tourettes and CrossFit. We are excited to watch your progress and root for you in the Open this year. Good luck, brother!
