Theoretical Hierarchy of Destiny

Last post I talked about CrossFit's theoretical hierarchy of athlete development in a sport. Today I will talk about how that same concept of the pyramid, with the foundation and all the levels that build on it leading you to the top (your ultimate goal).

Just like your athletic endeavors build on a foundation of nutrition, this pyramid stands on a foundation of thoughts and words. What you say and what you think will ultimately direct your actions. Your actions turn into habits, which define you character and ultimately you destiny.

Much like athletic training, if you are not seeing the results you want, you need to look at your nutrition. What are you eating, because that fuels your training and your body. If you aren't where you want to be in life, you need to look at what your thoughts are, what words are you saying, because that fuels your actions.

Greg A is one of the original CrossFit Bad Asses, and also a SUPER nice guy. He was one of the coaches at my Level 1 Cert and taught me how to do muscle ups. Here he is talking exactly about this. (in fact I ripped him off with this post...) but it was just such a good video when I watched it that I had to share it.

Like paleo, and the training we do, it just makes too much sense!
