Before CrossFit, I Wanted to Be a Teacher
School kids at Raincity and what a strong female role model does to a kid's idea of fitness.
Before I got into #crossfit I wanted to be a teacher. Then I wanted to be a school liaison officer, then a cop, then a fireman... I always loved working with / helping people and I love the idea of high intensity and physically demanding work.
So far in being a coach & gym owner, although the hours & pay don't quite line up with some of the other jobs I wanted, I'm able to get the best of every part of the careers I used to want. #dreamjob
We had @misch_0 school kids in today. To try to keep this short (ha) all I can say is I am MINDBLOWN by the difference in attitude from kids who have a strong (physically... We're still working on her mental strength #jokes) female influencing & in front of them on a regular basis. There's no concern of body image, bulky, manly or not, or stupid things like that. It's purely 'I want to be strong and fit so that I can do things like madame Michelle' (that's a quote from a kid - they all speak French) which literally warms my heart to hear. That is exactly what we try to teach at @raincityathls, and when I get to see that influence directly on the next generation it brings a tear to my eye... At least it would if I didn't have such a big beard #toomanlytocry #definitelytearedup #thebeardisalie
If you can't find the motivation to stay fit and active (just generally, doesn't have to be anything insane), instead think about the next generation and what kind of example you're setting and do it for them.

I knew that wasn't going to be short. I tried.
