Quick shout out to two peeps. I seen something cool yesterday in Open Gym. Shannon and Adam were up the back chatting so I just say back and took in what was going on. What I seen was pretty cool. Adam had taken some time out to coach, Guide and instruct Shannon on one critical component of the clean that he was just missing. Adam helped him get his head in the space it needed to be to hit a very comfortable 90kg clean (PB). Why is this cool? Well as well all know Adam has been a member for over 3 years. With help from myself, Tysha and a few of our other trainers Adam has just dominated our Olympic lifting classes. Its not often you see many athletes who have bigger cleans or who can lift extremely well take time from what they are doing to help out. Especially considering Adams only a member. But Adam seen the importance in community and helping each person achieve greatness within. He knows that a 90kg clean means just as much as him hitting 130+kg cleans! Hell, no matter who you are or how heavy you lift, it all matters! I thought this moment was cool, when all the layers and layers of skill development fall into place for Shannon and Adam to share a solid moment like that. This is what community really is. Its not really about regionals or the games, for the most part, its about changing our own life!!!! Good work guys, you both made me proud.
