Learn how to fail. ••• This is not going out with the intention to fail. Instead its realizing that the best and most successful not only messed up a lot before getting it right, but they also looked at how to do it better next time. ••• Create a space that allows you to learn from your failure. Foster a mindset that accepts the reality of imperfection and the inevitably of mistakes, screw-ups, and losses. ••• #alwaystraining #motivationmonday #americanmade #hamplan #coachdevelopmentprogram #crossfitgames #crossfitcourse #crossfitonenation #nfq

The key to snatching heavy is first making as many chins as possible. It’s science. Had a great weekend competing at the @usafunctionalfitness national championships. Looking forward to representing 🇺🇸 in Sweden in a few months and eating some Surströmming 🐟. I hear it’s delicious. @tacticnutrition #usa #if3 #fitness #compete #workout #snatch #olympiclifting #girlswholift 📷: @v4vader
