What We're doing When We Do CrossFit
Ben Bergeron trains some of the world’s fittest athletes. A former Ironman triathlete turned CrossFit Games competitor, Ben has coached athletes to six world championships. As a coach of the reigning Fittest Man and Fittest Woman on Earth, he is considered one of the top coaches in the sport of CrossFit. He is the author of the book, "Chasing Excellence" and owner of CrossFit New England in Natick, Ma. Ben also has a podcast called "Chasing Excellence." My family and I listen to all of his podcasts. In my opinion, he is one of the smartest Coaches in CrossFit. His passion for being the best version of yourself is contagious. No one motivates me more. If Ben told me to give up running and focus on CrossFit I would actually listen to him. Honestly, he is the only one I would listen to. Lol
The picture above is when I attended The Competitive Excellence Camp in April 2017 with Ben Bergeron at CrossFit New England. Best weekend ever! After this camp, I learned a lot about myself as an athlete. It helped me to focus on myself, be the best that I can be and to never look at the leaderboard (I have to admit that is hard to do). I trained with Ben, Katrin Davidsdottir, and Cole Sager all weekend long. What a blast! I beat Katrin running up Blue Hills Mountain. After reaching the top of the mountain with Cole Sager 4 seconds in front of me Ben said, "Caitlin, we found your wheelhouse." It was so refreshing to have a Coach actually embrace my love for running instead of criticizing it. Thank You Ben!
Watch the video below...it will motivate you to want to take care of yourself even more. Fuel your body with the healthiest food and exercise every day. It is not about winning the CrossFit Games for most of us, it is about staying healthy into our 90's so we can be there for our Grandchildren!!
