Mistakes

CrossFit offers a lot of opportunities to make mistakes.  It's part of what draws us.  Those afraid to make mistakes don't last long.  How many of you had ever done a snatch before we did Isabel?  It is the most complex lift, and takes a LONG time to develop properly.  Some left frustrated they couldn't do it properly, as if one session would be sufficient to learn a highly technical lift.  There is method to our madness!  You must be able to power snatch before doing a full snatch.  You must have a solid front squat.  

Everytime you come into CrossFit Mount Olympus strive for perfection, but allow yourself to make mistakes.  Learn from those, and allow others the same courtesy.  Check all egos and excuses at the door.
