Authentically MSCF
It has been a week since Coach Brian & Gabby went to the most recent Best Hour Of Their Day Mastermind. Within Affiliate University there are levels that mirror the CrossFit coaching credentialing system. Level 1 is entry level, the basics. Level 2, is the coaching of coaches, you have systems in place and they work but you have plenty of growth and learning opportunities. A level 3 CrossFit trainer is officially “certified”. There is a level of expertise to the affiliate, to that coach, that says something about them without knowing anything else.
Then there is the CrossFit Level 4 “Certified Coach”, the top of the pyramid, the best of the best. Level 4 coaches bring to any given classroom a level of expertise that is rare. Coach Brian attempted his Level 4 credentialing earlier this year, unsuccessfully because to be a level 4 is to be at the top of the game. There are only 5 affiliates who have become L4 Affiliates through the Best Hour Of Their Day vetting system (out of many 100s). So to say we were proud during the Vegas Mastermind when MidState CrossFit was announced as a “Level 4 Affiliate” is an understatement… & yes, of course, Coach Brian cried.
What does this mean for our athletes? For us we feel the responsibility of doing the common, uncommonly well. To be authentically ourselves. To take care of coaches, to care for our athletes, to be the cornerstone of our communities' lives. This has always been our aim and it has served us well.
We also know we have a lot left to do. Our goals have not been reached. Our community needs better from us. So many projects are left unfinished. We do know one thing though, we will triple down on what has worked so well for us. Coaching, people, and vibes. Authentically ourselves and transparency about the box. Being a level 4 affiliate in the eyes of our peers and our mentors is one thing. Being a level 4 affiliate in the eyes of our athletes, that is what matters most to us.
We love this gang of MidState MisFits. We love doing fitness with you. We love doing life with you. Our athletes, our coaching staff, our team, this designation is your trophy as much as it is Brian and Gabby’s.
Thank you for believing in the magic. #MidStateOhana
