This past week I attended my Level two cert. I did not pass it, which is a tough blow for me to deal with.
Why I did not pass it is not because I lack so much understanding of each of the 9 movements. It's because I lacked the confidence to not be over come by my insecurities. It's a simulated environment much like being on stage. Which I've never do well with. I was not in charge of my emotions at all. I'll also admit to feeling uncomfortable using the exact cues that the CF staff wants you to use. Although I completely see the importance of them being strict about there use.
It's was not the above reasons that caused me to fail. It was because I let them blind my eyes to peoples faults that I should have and in my everyday coaching at Potomac or CFDC I would see.
The end result? I can't explain how much I learned. Really it would be hard to narrow down the amazing amount of learning I received.
I'm wiser for just being there.
I'm more than happy that Crossfit HQ has such high standards.
I will not Relent! EVER!

Even though you didn't pass the Lvl II cert, I really noticed a big difference in the way you were coaching the Elements Class today. You were doing a great job before but I'm sure this experience was like a growth spurt for you as a trainer! Yeah I know you didn't pass, but really, congrats on completing the Cert and having such an honest, positive outlook the experience!!!
Thank Maiko, your very kind and I need that little hug!
