Turn those weaknesses into strengths!
We’ve all learned that CrossFit is a core strength and conditioning program that was developed to enhance our abilities across ten general physical skills: cardio respiratory endurance, strength, stamina, flexibility, coordination, agility, balance, accuracy, power and speed. You may not know that each day, CrossFit's prescription of constantly varied, functional movements performed at a high intensity challenges us across all of these!
Every athletes performance against each day’s WOD is limited by our weaknesses within any given skill; for some strength might be the limiting factor, for others it may be endurance, flexibility or balance.
To maximize our performance and growth as an athlete, it helps to identify our weaknesses, set goals around improving them, measuring the progress around strengthening, and eliminating weaknesses by turning them into new strengths.
Remember: Determined, focused, and consistent effort (hard work) against these weaknesses will be rewarded by mastery of the skill & personal growth as an athlete.

Try integrating your weakest skills into your warm-up each day; you will be amazed at the turn-around achieved in even just one month’s time!
