523. Coach the movements you are bad at
Treat your coach development like The Hopper Model.
You know as an athlete there are movements you do not like to see programmed because you are not good at them.
As a coach, it is no different.
You know you get nervous when movements are programmed for you to coach that you do not feel confident in teaching.
So lean into it. Be intentional about putting yourself in situations where you have to coach those movements.
It is the only way you will get better.

519. "It's not a career, it's a lifestyle." | Talking CrossFit with Gary Gaines + Austin Malleolo of CrossFit Home Office

And yes, the L1 is enough to start us on the path to where we need to go.
As Malleolo says "“If the Level 1 wasn’t enough, I would not be here today."
Tune in as Fern interviews Austin Malleolo and Gary Gaines from CrossFit Home Office, in person at CrossFit Rife.
Episode 519 of the Best Hour of Their Day Podcast is simply CrossFit guys talking about CrossFit.

514. Be nice.
It is that simple, but we know it is not always that easy to implement.
While we touch on a number of things in today's episode from Fern's recent seminar experience with "the poke kid", to programming Strength + Metcon, to answering a couple questions you guys sent us, the core message we want you to hear today is just be kind.
Comment on this post on our Instagram @besthouroftheirday, and tell us about an experience you had, customer service or otherwise, that stopped you in your tracks because of the kindness of another human being.
