I coach a certain way – sometimes I might seem like I’m being an arsehole but that’s only because I have high expectations of you and see your potential (even when you may not) My coaching style doesn’t necessarily work for everyone but I’ve said it before, that’s the reason there’s more than one box in Canberra. It may ruffle a few feathers now and then but it does work for some…
Hi Ben,
Last week I felt run down and that the rut that I was stuck in last year was continuing into 2014, but after our chat you made me realise that I totally lost sight of my ‘Why’ in life and I wanted to share how being a part of Adapt has helped me in all aspects of my life.
Everything you said was spot on which has helped put me back on track. Like yourself, I truly believe 2014 is definitely a year of change in all aspects of my life and it excites me.
Since our talk, I have been doing a lot of soul searching and goal setting not only for myself but also doing it together with my family and because of it, we are all really excited about our plans. To be able to work together as a team and aim to achieve is certainly something we have never done before however we are all very determined to make this work.
Like you suggested, I also questioned the reason why I do CrossFit and I can honestly tell you how much it has changed me not only physically but both mentally and emotionally. The biggest point since joining Adapt that I count as a blessing is that it has made me a far better father and husband. My wife and kids look at me as their hero, someone who is patient, who cares for them deeply and will do anything to keep them safe. As embarrassing and hurtful it is to admit, before I joined Adapt, I used to be a person who was unbearable. My own little family feared me in case I yelled or got upset over stupid things to which I regret till this day, however I use it as a means of motivation to be a better version of myself each morning I get up.
I also love coming to the 5:30am sessions as this is the best way to start my day. It helps me prepare for any unexpected dramas that life throws at me but the bonus is that I get to hang out with like-minded individuals who totally rock and is certainly one of the highlights of my day.
Finally, I thank God for you and Becca and your vision to open up Adapt in Belconnen. You have built a great team of coaches around you who I am proud to be associated with.
I wanted to let you know how Adapt has now become a big part of my life and that of my family.
Thank you for saving my life.

Dave
