Make a Plan!

Sunday Story…Goals and Dreams

It's that time of year again. The end of the year, when we start thinking about the things that we accomplished and the things we wanted to accomplish but maybe didn't quite get to.

As we look forward to the coming New Year, what are your fitness goals? Are there any skills you'd like to improve? Skills that you meant to get better at this last year but didn't quite get to?

Perhaps there are some things you're sure will show up here in a month or two for the CrossFit Open, but you're not quite ready. You haven't done the work that you needed to do to be as good as you know you can be. Well, it's time to figure out how to get to them. You can go ahead and schedule a goal review with Alex, if you like. You could talk to Ellie. You could talk to me. We can schedule a private session or two, or if you have some friends who have the same issues, they need to work on the same skills, we could set up a special class on a Saturday afternoon or maybe a Sunday morning, and get those skills honed in and ready to show off for the Open.

Maybe it's something even simpler than that. Perhaps it's just "I want to be able to (fill in the blank here). I want to be able to back squat an extra 20 pounds by this time next year. I want to be able to do five strict pull-ups. If that's the case, then we need a plan. You need a plan to make that happen.

If you don't have a plan and a date, all you have is a dream. So let’s set the goals, make a plan, and make it happen.
