An Excellent Wknd
Hello, hi, 👋
A big welcome to the 25 folks who have joined us since last week. We weren’t complete until you arrived.
Let’s do this.
📍 ICYMI
Here’s what came out this week:
[ 💪🏼 ] Negativity in Friendship, The Value of Mentorship, Grief, & More
Jumping into questions from members of the Chase Club this week.
We tackle questions about maintaining healthy relationships, starting a personal training business, improving CrossFit competitiveness, and dealing with grief during workouts.
[ 💭 ] True Competitors Don’t Want Things to Be Perfect
Exploring the intense pressures faced by athletes during major competitions like the Olympics and CrossFit Games.
We examine the importance of embracing imperfection, maintaining a flow state, and focusing on character over circumstances.
We emphasize how these principles are not only for athletes but for anyone striving for excellence while battling the allure of perfectionism in today’s social-media-driven world.
[ 🏃🏼♀️ ] Balancing CrossFit with Strength Training
Jen asks: After 6 years of Strength & Conditioning, I want to try CrossFit. At 52, is CrossFit enough for my strength needs, or should I add extra training?

[ 🏃 ] The 3 Certainties
I loved this PSKC CrossFit & Dale King post that nicely bridges CrossFit with Phil Stutz. I’m also a big fan of finding ways to describe the benefits of CrossFit without ever using the words “constantly varied” or “intensity.”
Here’s just a snippet:
“In life there will be countless curve balls...and things you have no control over. What you do have control over is your physical, mental, and emotional preparation and how you react. The more you develop your capacity to handle the unknown the easier it becomes to embrace challenges.”
