[Music] so if you had to ask me if Scott was a better Coach or an athlete I would
absolutely say he's a better Coach and I think that really puts it in perspective
knowing he's one of the fittest in the sport of how amazing of a coach he actually is
Dylan how are you good made it in in the evening I like it I think it's really important for people
to know that I've always seen myself as an affiliate owner that is an athlete and not
an athlete that is an affiliate owner most of our members when they first joined they have
no idea who Scott is I'm going to just brief you guys quickly we'll demo a few movements
and then we're going to get you guys moving this community is a big a big part of my life
big part of my family and something that I will spend the rest of my life serving and being an
athlete is a very very short period of my life that has a ton of amazing memories but none of
those things happen without everything else going on behind the scenes here for the last 10 years
Gina message you back yet
for Thursday at two
the days have actually changed a lot from when I was an athlete versus now they start at home with
my wife I have two kids one is two years old and the other one is two months old every morning we
wake up and we're we're already talking about like okay what do we got to get done today together so
we talk about what our roles and responsibilities are going to be for the day for coaching classes
doing on-ramps and anything else that needs to get done so what if you did rest one minute
or partner rest one to one with a partner so here would you do just do seven cents breast
a minute that's easy to remember and that'll put it as like a pretty close to a 20 minute
workout my wife does a lot of the admin she helps coach classes in the morning
I think when your family is involved you start to
love everybody in the gym the way you love your family too
[Music] coach is is someone that you know you can rely on that's going to show up you trust them and
you know that they have your best interest in mind and they truly love and care about you [Music]
you grab a PVC pipe so barbell is going up for two reps look like this push press and
then we're working split jerk now the split jerk we haven't spent a ton of time working on this
we've spent a lot of time on the push jerk so we're gonna we're gonna work on that today and
I'm gonna go over some footwork I have a bunch of chalk and we're going to do some drills on that
okay so this foot's just got to come forward and try to try to clear that square and Get It Forward
a bit here you go good drop the knee down a little here you go I do understand what people mean when
you love what you do it does not feel like you're working but I'm working my butt off in here good
try to get that back knee down a little bit just a little bit I love the work I love the grind and
I think that stems a little bit from me being an athlete ready go he loved coaching like he is very
passionate about it when he comes in the gym and he gets to coach our community it makes him feel
just so happy to be able to share his passion with the people in this gym and why didn't that stance
a little bit widen it and lengthen it my favorite thing is when I have a class that is huge and they
all need something a little different if that like dip is bothering you then what we can do is we can
do just a regular strict press we'll increase the rep since we're not going to get too heavy
and that'll just kind of be a little more like rehab for you to be able to like give them the
best hour of their day is just incredible it's it's what I've always dreamed of doing this is
the guy right here that I told you about all right this guy when anyone walks in here and they tell
me I can't do this I'm like this is the guy go talk go talk to Henry when I think of CrossFit
I think of Henry and when we open these doors that's the person that I wanted to serve the
day I walked into CrossFit mentality I could not air squat to a 45 pound plate on top of an 18-inch
box you could imagine what it was like for me to just get out of a chair stand up I remember him
telling me that he hadn't climbed a ladder at work and he couldn't even remember when and even going
downstairs he was holding on to the railing and going down sideways at that time I really thought
that this is what getting older was you know and obviously I was very wrong so instead of
pulling right to here and she didn't try to pull a little bit higher across her chest there you go
get one more big pull [Music] I think the most important thing when you have somebody that's
walking into your gyms is you got to build the trust and you got to explain to them what your
goal is and when Henry came in I told him this is going to change your life but you
need to trust me and you need to show up he happened to be in the lobby when I came in
to basically sign up for my on-ramp and he just had a short 30 seconds with me but he
said something to me that I'll never forget he was asking me how I feel and why I'm here and
I told him I have some bad knees maybe we could correct it and he looked at me and said you stick
around here long enough and you probably won't need knee Replacements and the man was correct
Focus today is going to be trying to improve our positioning on our squats so what we really
want to do is get the ankle nice and warmed up along with the hips and everything else [Music]
more we can get this elbow down towards this toe you can see that knee starting to track out
it's going to open that up for that overhead squat here today dude you're clearing your feet
so well now like that looks easy that looks easy bro that looks easy that's what I'm talking about
he's always got a smile on his face now and I think he's just happier and hungrier than ever
because once he started to see that progression happen it was just it was so life-changing he's
like I want more I want more I want more and he just kept investing and doubling down oh
now you're just showing off that's awesome thanks dude all right so look at the difference here now
all right and then even on this next one when you brought your hands overhead that
was I didn't want to scab my nose I mean when I came to Metallica that just it was
like I jumped on a train and and all that just changed and every day was better you know it
all of a sudden I could do this and all of a sudden I could do that one more set last one
getting to see the progress over five years of just non-stop work showing up not missing and
doing the things that he needs to do and then getting to see how it changed his life that
to me is like winning the CrossFit Games cool that's all I got for you okay good job [Music]
we've been doing a gold board I think since we opened uh and I just think it's so important
that people write something on that board that they're going to pursue and there's something very
very powerful about writing it down that one puts accountability into your lap but it also holds us
accountable as coaches to know where you want to be and I know a lot of you are working on coming
up with goals that are going on that board maybe some of us are falling a little short of getting
something up there I want you to think about some things that are happening outside of here and some
things that you can do in the other 23 hours of the day that could make you a healthier individual
you can't teach someone to be a good person and I think that's where it starts is your
heart and your intention of why you're coaching I think some people go into coaching because they
love CrossFit but sometimes that's not enough front foot comes back first he tries to make
every person in here better take time to work on your diet work on your movements you could pick
his brain on any subject that it has to do with crossy it doesn't have to be CrossFit it can be
faith it could be family it could be anything and he will he'll give you his best advice
Scottish told me numerous times that I'm an inspiration to him I never understood that
I'm like who am I to inspire you how why what what do I do to inspire you you're look who you are
I'm starting to understand that now because I'm learning more about the journey as opposed to
what his accomplishments are because as great as those are his main focus here is mentality
family as he calls it that's why people keep coming back because he cares so much about
everybody in this gym it's a ripple effect the rest of the coaches in here we see how much he
cares and we want to care that much and then our members see how much our coaches care and
then they start caring about each other that much and it's the best buyer you could ask for
being an athlete and an affiliate owner time is hard but they have very much fueled one another
I'm a great crossfitter but I'm an even better Coach and that's my jam and I love it I love
being in front of our community I love having the opportunity to serve others and to teach
them all the things that I've learned in my journey so that they can be successful in life
