496. If you stand for nothing, you'll fall for anything
If you are a coach or affiliate owner, you are an advocate for CrossFit.
So, it's time to actually start advocating for CrossFit.
Here is our ask today: we need your help with a write in campaign, of sorts. CrossFit Jaakarhu de-affiliated last year and has decided to re-affiliate as a box. And we shared their story while in Austin for the Rogue Invitational. This is an incredibly important narrative for all of us to get behind if we want to truly help others through our sport.
If you are with us, send this link (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoKFwVjuYUg&t=1s) to content@crossfit.com and/or reply to their daily newsletter that CrossFit sends out with the link to the Karhu episode. We want to get this story picked up, and we know there is no better group of people to get this momentum going than our loyal listeners.
Let's start advocating for CrossFit

490. Stop feeling sorry for yourself and get off your a*s
Stagnant is a bad place to be.
Accountability helps with stagnation.
Find yourself a partner, a coach, a mentor. Someone to lean on and hold you accountable to achieving the things you say you want to achieve.
The first and biggest thing you need to do though?
Stop moping around.
Stop sitting on your a*s wondering what could be.
Stop feeling sorry for yourself.
Stand up and take just one step forward.
And that first step forward should be finding someone to hold you accountable.
Don't have an accountability partner? DM us. We got you.

487. It is OK to not be OK...and you are probably not OK
Just because things are not falling apart, does not mean things are good.
Have you convinced yourself of that?
Moreover, do you not know what you don't know...
Do you not know why you got 10 new members this month? Do you not know why you lost 5?
Continuing our conversation from a few months ago, it is OK to not be OK, and you need to say the quiet things out loud. We want box owners to stop leading these lives of quiet desperation.
However, that begins with you being honest with yourself.
It is OK to not be OK, and even if you tell yourself and everyone else otherwise, it is unlikely that you are actually OK.
Be real with where you are at.
That will be your first step forward in getting out of the rut you are in.
Need help? We got you. DM us.
