This entry is sort of a continuation of what I posted last week regarding being invested in your success.

We've found that the best business system in the world is completely useless without a core product that stands head and shoulders above the rest. The affiliates who have been through our program and here at CFLA we are constantly checking and evaluating our coaches. One of the things we found really helpful is to bring in coaches, some formally but most informally, who are masters at CrossFit into our box and share ideas. Recently we had the pleasure of having Dutch visit and share some of his programming ideas and all I could say is that he helped me, personally, raise my game.

Dutch is teaching a seminar on improving your coaching and I think it's great for our CrossFit community. Here's a link: http://crossfitatm.com/blog/training-seminar/

If you don't know who Dutch is here is a video of him doing a WOD.

BWOD:
Make a list of several things that you can do to improve your coaches abilities.

Thank you for the shout out.
I look forward to helping anyone that wants to be a better trainer.

That video is kind of embarrassing... Sorry coach B and Greg you taught me better than that. In my defense this was done before i met ya'll.

-Dutch-

I got the absolute pleasure of meeting Dutch at the Mesa, AZ Level 1 cert and don't get me wrong, all the other instructors were great but Dutch was FANTASTIC. I wish I could have learned all the skills from Dutch. I was so bummed he was out at CrossFit LA the week before I got there. I'll check out his training seminar blog.

How was Vegas John?

Great talking to you today John. Hey, forgot to mention I emailed Dutch about the training seminar. I hope to get him to come to CrossFit NWT when he takes it on the road. He said he'd keep me posted on the progress of the traveling seminar.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Jennifer,

You should have a great time with Dutch.

Send my Thanksgiving Day wishes to Kevin and the rest of the family.

Best,
John
