An Interview With A Coach That Quit My Gym When I Rebranded

Shannon Kennedy is a badass female, amazing gymnastics coach, a good friend and FORMER employee of CrossFit SouthEnd.

The title of this podcast is def. riding the clickbait wave but not really. 

Shannon ran the gymnastics program at CFSE and when we made our move to rebrand to Urban MVMNT, specialty classes like Olympic Weightlifting, gymnastics, endurance, etc were not a part of that vision.  

So all the SME coaches went buh-bye.

In most cases, this becomes a dramatic exit and dissolution of friendships and certainly business relationships.  

But not this one.  

Shannon and I have maintained a great relationship over the years that is filled with mutual respect and an appreciation to learn from each other.

We get deep into the concept of overtraining as an athlete and the negative side effects that the competitive atmosphere of training can bring. 

I think you're gonna really like this interview!
