Ever been Mid-W.O.D. and the pieces of the puzzle just don't seem to fit? You're off. Your focus is amiss. You brought your baggage from the outside world into your CrossFit Box. Good news! It means you're human. We've all been there. Every single one of us has the "off day". An off day can actually be a blessing in disguise. It can serve as fuel for future objectives in your athletic endeavor. The key is to make sure you learn something from the situation. Do your best to assess the situation and walk away with a formiddable definition of how you sucked in that workout. Use it as a foundation in order to create a better outcome for the next visit. When you hear your coach say "get your mind right", it really means leave the world behind. Forget all the bullshit from the day's events. Think about where you are NOW and what you are about to do. Live in the present. Put the movements together in your head. If you have mobility issues to address, get in early and work them. Warm up as prescribed. Pay attention in the pre-WOD brief. Then lock in and wait your cue....3-2-1 GO !
For most, your training sessions are a very small portion of your day. If you set it up right, your training environment can serve as a great escape from the outside world. Set up is everything. Get your mind right and watch your performance shine.
Stay strong!
Peace- Johnny
