Why do i coach?

I started my CrossFit coaching career as a kids coach at first. The children won my heart. It was amazing to see them so excited to come in and do the same work they saw their parents doing day in and day out. After a few years working with children, I began coaching adults and guess what? It was still the same amazing feeling to work with adults. At that point the reason for my coaching began to shift a little- it now became a calling & desire to serve the athletes. I enjoyed helping them meet goals, develop new skills all while building their confidence.
