Made a quick guide on the spectrum of athlete types and how to coach each one without overcomplicating class. This is the stuff I wish someone handed me years ago. https://app.typeset.com/play/DYM940

Watch the video and put your coach brain on: • How many faults do you see? • What kind of cue would you use to fix each one? – Verbal (simple words / verbs) – Visual (demo, target, comparison) – Tactile (tap, band, object, constraint) There’s no single “right” answer—just better or worse tools for the moment. I’ll post my breakdown on Monday, walking through every fault I see and exactly how I’d coach it in a live class. Drop your thoughts in the comments. Let’s sharpen the lens. 🧠💪

As I continue coaching Level 2 seminars, I find myself repeatedly coming back to the joint-by-joint coaching framework—especially when a coach feels stuck, unsure what to look for, or can’t immediately identify a fault. By systematically working up the body—starting at the feet, then knees, hips, trunk, shoulders, and so on—we give ourselves a reliable process. As long as we understand what each joint should be doing, subtle faults become much easier to identify. This approach is especially valuable when working with veteran athletes, who often move well enough that major faults aren’t obvious at first glance. The joint-by-joint lens helps coaches see what’s almost right—and refine it toward virtuosity. I’ll continue building this spreadsheet over time, starting with the nine foundational movements, and eventually expanding into Olympic lifts, gymnastics, and monostructural modalities. This is a living document, not a finished product. Bookmark this link and revisit it often—especially during sessions with athletes—as a practical guide to improving movement quality and coaching clarity. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zDnTxZNkj71YpJN9jMJUSoFgORh0e8mWJGNNGXJzvAs/edit?usp=sharing

Just wanted to let you guys know, that I updated the "Joint by Joint" spreadsheet to include Presses! Go check it out :) https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zDnTxZNkj71YpJN9jMJUSoFgORh0e8mWJGNNGXJzvAs/edit?gid=536403727#gid=536403727

This post breaks down the CrossFit Rx to nutrition in the simplest way possible—think 5th-grader simple. It’s laid out like a road map, starting with real food, moving into calories and macros, then showing you exactly how to adjust based on how you look, feel, and perform. From there, it transitions into fruits and veggies, hydration, and a few basic supplements that support health and recovery. Nothing extreme. Nothing trendy.Just the fundamentals done well—and adjusted over time. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by nutrition, start here.If you’ve been doing this a while, use it as a check-in to make sure the basics are still solid. Read it. Save it. Come back to it often.
