Coaches have been having classes write down goals they will accomplish in the gym within the next month. For some, the thought of putting a goal to paper is very scary and leads to a trigger of emotions, most not good or conducive to helping them accomplish that goal.

I came across an article recently that spoke of the "marathon monks". As I read the article, I couldn't help but be inspired by the dedication and discipline these individuals showed on their quest to enlightenment. 

The moto of "complete it or kill it" has stuck with me since reading the article and has helped me in my training for this (and possibly my last) year of training for the CrossFit Games. 

Obviously this is an EXTREME example of what a truly dedicated group of people will go through to find their meaning in life, but the lesson of finding a goal so worthy of completing they will do anything to accomplish it, is one we all can add to our lives. 

The purpose of of writing down these goals is two fold:
1) Give you a purpose in the gym! Something to work towards every day and see progress that will lead to more and more progress over time!
2) A chance to utilize our coaching staff! We are not just here to turn on a clock, yell 3..2..1. go and work the play list. We are dedicated to helping each and everyone of you accomplish things you may have never thought possible. If you wrote down a goal and are unsure of how to accomplish it, ask a coach! That's what we are here for :)

Going into this month that you will accomplish those goals you wrote down, keep the "Complete it or Kill it" mantra in your head every time you walk in the gym. See you soon Coast Rangers!!!!
