My 2020 Goal? Starting BC's First Functional Fitness Sports Association
Why CrossFit isn't a sport, what a PSO is, and the dream of bringing Functional Fitness to kids.
My 2020 goal? Learning to say no 🙄... Kidding.
For those that don't know I took on a new little project setting up the first Provincial Sports Organization (PSO) of the @canadian_functional_fitness as Director of the @bcfunctionalfitness Sports Association.
FYI. #CrossFit isn't a sport - it's a company (like my other company the @functionalfitnessleague). 'Real' sports (Olympic recognized) have non profit governing bodies at every level and around the world - like the @internationalfunctionalfitness aka IF3.
We've got a big year of high level competition coming up for the BCFFSA - but what I'm most 😁for is the ability to bring Functional Fitness to kids. As we develop the sport & it's guidelines we'll get access & government support in bringing FF into schools, programs, extra credit, etc - something I dreamed of doing with #CrossFit (before I understood how all these things work). Can't wait for what this will mean for the @raincityfitclub ♥️
Speaking of understanding how things work; as usual I have no idea what I'm doing 🤷♂️... 'hey Google - how do I do taxes for a non profit?' An actual goal for 2020 is to learn to ask for and accept help - so if anyone's got any XP in NPOs etc I'd love to chat!
Ps. This is my productivity cave 😍
