COACH SPOTLIGHT: DAVE 👋🏼
You’ve probably seen a lot of Coach Dave around 611, but we figured it was time you got to know him a little better outside of the coaching floor. 👀
-How would you describe your coaching style?
Serious, but light-hearted...we’re going to have fun, but
I’m going to help you get uncomfortable so that you can grow and see results.
-What are you passionate about when it comes to coaching?
Showing up ready to help you meet your goals and exceed your own expectations. In other words, being the accountability, structure, and expertise, we all struggle to find on our own, but with a little push, and maybe some “friendly motivation” (aka hard truths), we’ll surprise ourselves.
-If you could do only one CrossFit movement for the rest of
your life, what would it be?
Power Cleans! Heavy or cycling, doesn’t matter. Just don’t
ask me to catch in a squat (often).
-What is one CrossFit movement you would happily never do
again?
Honestly....none, that goes against the whole idea of
constantly varied. Although I detest wall-walks.
-What is something our members might be surprised to learn about you?
I’m an extremely sub-par but aspiring woodworker, and I enjoy sci-fi/fantasy more than I care to admit (Harry Potter, Marvel, LOTR, Red Rising, all of it)
-What does your ideal day off look like?
Early wake up for coffee with my dog, slow morning before an 8am or 9am workout (despite being a 5am coach), house projects or woodworking, afternoon beers with friends, great food for dinner and close out at a decent
bedtime to repeat the next day.
-What is your go-to music when you work out?
Anything loud, upbeat and full of lyrics and nostalgia I can
resonate with. Aka Big Bo**ie Mix on repeat.
-Fran or Murph?
Fran...when my pull-ups are feeling good.
-Pineapple on pizza...yes or absolutely not!
Absolutely. With a lot of crispy bacon and ranch!
