Mental Approach to CrossFit
(by CrossFit Dublin)
Pre Game
• Don’t be thinking of CrossFit all day and obsessing about if you are going to go today or not.
• Commit to the training, make a schedule, stick to it and just walk through the door, (this is the hardest part, everything else is easy.)
•Getting scared or worrying is not a good long term approach.
• Do not obsess about your score or the results.
• Do the training for the practice, enjoy the practice, not the result.
• Be aware of your physical condition, back off if you are tired, sick or injured.
Game Time
• Stay calm and work hard.
• Do every rep correctly and count each one, (chin over the bar every rep, 50 means 50, be methodical and religious about this.)
• Everyday is going to be different, work with what you have that day. You will not set a record every day.
• Honor yourself and your competitors, give them your best so that they might find theirs.
• Cheating dishonors you and everyone involved in your life. If you are cheating in our gym, you are surely cheating in life. It will destroy your life.
Post Game
• Shoot the shit with your friends.
• Record your workout in your training journal.
• Nobody cares what you got.
• Everyone cares if you cheated.
• Go home and eat a steak and some veggies.

Awesome job Alec!! You are always so UP and positive, and have so much energy (pre and post WOD) and yes I am jelly of that!! Seriously though, a PMA –positive mental attitude - will be your greatest tool to make it big in the world and your greatest asset to survive it once you do!
