The Spirit of Competition
!
!
Lots of talk is buzzing around the box
about competing in CrossFit Events, and I
have been pushing lots of you to get in
some of the local competitions. “Why,” you
ask? Well, it’s because I believe in you, and
it’s time you started to believe in yourself.
The CrossFit Games Open starts February
27th and 14.1 will be the first WOD.
Registering for the Open will let you know
where you are in your fitness level
compared to over 150,000 people. The cost
is $20, and you can register at
CrossFitGames.com. The way I see it, you
are GOING to do the WODs anyway, so
you might as well find out where you rank
in the world…most of you will be very
surprised to see how well you do.
Competition brings out your very best,
and your very best is what we as coaches
are looking for. Everyday you draw a breath
you are competing at something, your fight
up the cooperate ladder, your battle for
your kids well-being, fighting to cover and
protect your wife/husband and family, the
battle against the enemy who tries to take
something from you every day, so don’t tell
me you don’t compete or you don’t want
it…cause you do. You just need a little push
- and your coaches are here to do just that.
We try to make you better at life, help you
push through the “suck,” encourage you to
take on a challenging WOD when it comes
up on the board, help you to stay in the
fight and overcome any obstacle that CFF
or life will throw at you.
on a field or in a box somewhere, they will
be motivated to do better and try harder,
guaranteed. Isn’t it time we see some
change in our society? Be that guy/gal that
encourages those around them to BE better,
work harder, eat and live healthy and be
PRODUCTIVE. Don’t settle for, or fall
into mediocrity. You are in the top 1% of
people in the world who choose their
workouts to be very hard and very
challenging. You are above average people
who strive to be BETTER than their
neighbor, BETTER than normal and the
old life style simply will not suffice. Tell your
classmates like it is, if you’re gonna beat me,
you’re going to have to suffer!

There are lots of events coming and I
will be encouraging all of you to get in the
game! By competing in any event you can
inspire a friend or relative to make that
desperately need a “life change.” If they
see you going out on a limb or getting out
of your comfort zone and throwing down
Congrats to Phil Metzger

Level 1 Trainer
Certification!
Jason William has been
at CrossFit Fayette since
mid-August and has
been throwing down
ever since. Jason is on
his way to becoming, if
he’s not already, the
strongest dude in the
box, with a deadlift over
500#, squats over 400#
and Bench press over
300#. And if you’ve
ever had to run against
him, he’s no slouch in
that area either. He
never complains about
a WOD and is always
willing to help out his
fellow athlete. If you get
a chance, watch the
video
of him finishing up GI
Jane on Facebook. It
was very cool to watch
Jason in an all out brawl
and see him persevere
and finish it up. Nice
work sir! You deserve to
be February’s Fire
Breather of the month.

Devetress Freeman has
quickly accelerated to the
top of the class with her
work capacity and
technique. She is a very
hard worker and is a
pleasure to coach because
she obtains an “over
achiever” attitude and is
always attentive to
instructions. Dee, as we call
her, has lost over 160
pounds…say what?...yes
160 pounds. By choosing to
follow a healthy life style,
dedication to proper
nutrition and a relentless
workout schedule Dee has
completely changed her
appearance and life, very
proud of you Dee. Keep it up
