My CrossFit Beginnings

I loved coaching CrossFit in Japan, and when I moved back to Perth, it was all thanks to Jason for putting me on the path to be a coach at Hub.

There are also a lot of moments that stand out, but it's always the ah ha moments that members have when a cue I've given clicks and their movement improves or they learn a new skill.
