A great post from CrossFit Verve via John Welborn owner of CrossFit Football....

I recently came across a blog by John Welbourn, the man behind CrossFit Football.  The blog is a sort of recap of 2012 and plan for 2013.  I know it’s a little late in the year to be talking about resolutions for 2013 but the blog is fantastic and needs to be seen. 

Check out the full blog HERE.

Here’s a few of my favorites points from the 42 John posted.  Take a look at the blog and let me know what numbers are your favorites or which ones resonated with you.

1. Know what you are training for.
We often sat at the seminars and my gym, “What are you training?” This translate into, you need a goal, a destination for your journey. Without you are left to wander, and this site is not called Kung Fu and you are not Caine. Pick a goal, chart a course, keep your head down and don’t come up for air until you meet it.

14. Heavy prowler pushes cleanse the soul.

25.  Dont let fear be your limiting factor.
Louie Simmons told me, “To master kung fu, the training must be severe.” What Louie means is, don’t take the easy way out. Winners and champions are forged in the crucible of competition and hard work. Don’t let fear of not meeting your goals be your limiting factor when it comes to training or success.

32. Learn to cook.
Even if it just involves adding meat, water, salt and root vegetables to a slow cooker or burning meat on a grill. Learn to cook. Nothing is as unimpressive as someone who cannot or will not learn.

39. Work the tissue.
Active Release Therapy. Graston. Deep Tissue Massage. Mashing. Do something to mobilize tissue and speed recovery.
