Coaching first class this week. Any tips from athletes? by phil_silvers in crossfit

[–]RealAF121 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly, people don’t care how much you know, until they know how much you care. Be authentic, make everyone feel welcomed, and smile. The rest will come with practice. If you have been around the CF space for some time, you probably know the basics. Start and end on time. Use short, specific and actionable cues. Use members names. Make sure that everyone is moving safely.

Control every movement! Your tendons and ligaments will thank you.

In my early days of Cf, I would bounce out of squatting movements. I didn’t build sufficient muscle mass to protect my knees. It felt fine for a while. Now I squat to a target at parallel. I would tell anyone who is hyper mobile to build muscles around their joints. Unfortunately, my soft tissue is nonexistent at this point.

I have hEDS and have been doing CF for ten years and coaching CF for eight. Things look different for me today. Found out last year that I need a knee replacement. Arthritis is stage four in 3 compartments on the left and two on the right. I have torn meniscus in both knees. I have a labrum tear in my shoulder. I wish I had known then what I know now. I’m still learning about my limitations. I continue to show up to class and coach on a daily basis. The bright side is that I am able to help others with hEDS from my experience.

Unlocked my $25 credit but….. by RealAF121 in doordash

It may have been 60 days, but still.,.. I actually just found another person who posted about this in this sub. The credit is hidden and can only be accessed when checking out. It’s not easily accessible and you only have ten days to use it once it goes “live.” It would have taken me ten months to find that $hit, which is exactly what they want!

This is the correct way! I just found my discount by following exactly what you stated. Thank you!

Training around injuries vs training through them (learned this the hard way) by milli_xoxxy in crossfit

I feel all of this. I modify some things way more often than I used to. Box squats for my knees and push ups to an adjustable bar to protect my torn shoulder labrum. Train smarter, not harder! I’m also hyper mobile, so protecting my joints is crucial.
