436. The Culture of CrossFit
How do you create a culture that that is passed down from you, to your coaching staff, to your athletes?
We've dubbed this week culture week, and with CrossFit Rife as our backdrop, we are diving into a discussion about culture in the world of CrossFit.
In today's chat, we examine the notion: nothing in your box should exist accidentally.

435. The perception of hard work is a drug, and people love taking that drug
The perception of hard work is real. Social media perpetuates it. Your perception of other boxes can perpetuate it. Your perception of other coaches can perpetuate it. The fact of the matter is, there is no substitute for actual hard work.
So, are you actually working hard or are you just posting on your social media feed about how hard you are working?

431. It is OK not to be OK
You have to be willing to admit that you are not OK. Say the quiet things out loud. The things that make you feel unworthy, less than, valueless, unqualified. Admit them to yourself and to those that you trust. Shame dies in the light.
Box owners are uniquely gifted (and not in a good way) at living lives of quiet desperation. That needs to stop. Right now. We want you to be happy with the life you are living. And the first step is admitting when you are not OK.
