CF-OL1 Certification
Coach
I'm from Hallsville, MO, a small town located a little north and west of Columbia. I went to Hallsville High school, and Moberley Area Community College (MACC) for a few semesters. I am now a full time student at Mizzou studying Health Sciences. I love to be outside and spend time with my friends and family. I also love getting to hangout and play with my dog Aang - I take him everywhere with me.
I had heard of CrossFit and had some friends who enjoyed it. In 2021 a friend talked me into doing a trial class and the rest is history. I've been coaching since 2022.
The community has been one of the biggest benefits for me. I've made so many new friends and connections through CrossFit, and we really push each other to work hard and be the best versions of ourselves. My favorite part about coaching is getting to see athletes improve and reach their goals. It brightens my day to crack jokes and see them smiling while I'm helping them power through a workout. I really enjoy seeing them get better each and every day.
I do CrossFit because it helps me stay mentally healthy and physically strong. I also love the competition side of it and constantly striving to be better and become the fittest I can be.
If you're thinking about trying CrossFit just rip the bandaid off and do it! I was so scared to try it but when I did I only wish I'd started sooner. It has had such an impact on my life - not only for fitness, but in almost everything.
