Show Notes
Pete Pavlic asks…
Let me start off with a little background, I’m 27 and an untrained athlete. I joined the military in 2010 and started the path to become a Green Beret. During the training I was introduced to CrossFit but it never really stuck with me. February 2012 I started the CFFB programming and have been hooked ever since. I want to thank PAHQ for enlightening me on everything. The methodology and principles behind it are the best around and totally applicable to my “sport.” I noticed everyday at work when my time in the gym pays off. Whether it’s carrying my buddy or sprinting from point A to point B.
Onto the question. I’m sure you have read Mark Rippetoe’s article Crossfit the good, the bad, and the ugly.
In it he basically says a lot of the same thing that Power Athlete preaches. Anyway, I wanted to know Power Athlete’s stance on coaches that should not be coaches. Example, housewives that attend a level 1 cert and get a job at a crossfit gym teaching shitty movement. I have been noticing more and more the lack good coaches with experience actually coaching. So many people spend $1,000 and think they have the right to teach. I was just curious about your thoughts on this topic.
Thanks Pete.
