Cece Hoff ~ August's Extraordinary Athlete
Cece Hoff ~ August's Extraordinary Athlete
August’s Extraordinary Athlete is sweet, young Cece Hoff! Daughter of Randy and Trecie, Cece is a Junior at Highland Park High School this year. She started CrossFit one year ago with mom and dad a little bit reluctantly, as she was already involved in sports at school, but she soon started to really enjoy CrossFit more.
Cece is really a natural athlete. Her squat makes the grown-ups cry a bit, remembering what it was like to be young and move well. She can be very cautious with her lifting - it’s all very new to her - but she is naturally very strong. Just last week she PRed her clean by 10 pounds at a 100-pound lift, which is really pretty incredible for her age. She also just celebrated her 100th class, which is a fantastic showing for her first year!
Another thing we love is that Cece is very good at chatting with other adults in the gym and being friendly to everyone. She is usually working out with mom or dad, but she is not afraid to go off on her own, take coaching, make friends, and help others. As some of us have discussed, this is a great way for kids to get comfortable talking to adults so that later in life, in college and in job interviews, they are comfortable having conversations.
Finally, in a world where many kids are on their phones or out getting in trouble with friends, Cece is making herself better. She always has a smile on her face, is eager to learn, and has lots of fun - and that’s what this is all about!
Cece, congratulations on your Journey to Extraordinary! We are so proud of you!
