This right here is what CrossFit is. This actually brought tears to my eyes. Determination is an understatement! I’m in total awe of this female athlete!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 • #Repost @coach_chase_cfl2 with @get_repost ・・・ #19point1 @crossfitgames #IamFIF #InTheOpen #TeamFIF #BlindBrooke . . . Brooke (whose visually impaired) knocked out 19.1 like a champ! First we worked on orientation to the equipment. Using boxes to keep the medicine ball from rolling away, and a trash bag with crumbled up paper taped to 9’ for her auditory target. We found that cycling a wallball isn’t really practical and is a bit unsafe too, so I have Brooke stand a bit further than normal to increase the chances of the ball dropping to the ground in front of her and just setting up for the next rep as a single. Sometimes I have to be on the defensive side to make sure she doesn’t get smacked in the face as you see lol. But overall she did amazingly well once we got her bearing! 1+19 with the 10lb medball! She went into this saying, well it’s ok if I don’t finish the first round of wallballs, this is just fun regardless. We blew that expectation out of the water! As an extra special treat I got to coach her mom as a drop in this afternoon and she got to watch Brooke take on this workout! The magic in The Open is still there for me; regionals or not this means something bigger than just competition, it’s the community and the people. I’m so proud of this young woman and blessed to be able to showcase her hard work! @crossfit @crossfitfif @crossfittraining #fitaid #crossfitfif #crossfit #kansascity #kcmo #GoBrooke #1stphorm #weightlifting #fitness #athlete #coach #crossfitgames @savage_barbell @1stphorm @s2faction @morningchalkup @fitaid @lifeaidbevco @reebok #resiliencecbd @usarmyfitnessteam @usarec @barbellshrugged @fun.ning @ladbible @theellenshow @therock @tommymarquez @carrichey @iamadaptive @powermonkeyfitness @unilad @powerofpositivity @garyvee @andyfrisella #ellendegeneres #ellendegeneresshow @adaptivecrossfit @conquerathlete @crossfit_milford https://www.instagram.com/p/BuWY9m0oARy/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=niymr15azvfm
