It goes without saying the CrossFit is a competitive fitness endeavor. When training for recreation or competition, it is just as important to train our minds as it is our bodies. Here are some hints to developing a more competitive mind through the 4 C's of mental training.
The 4C's
Concentration, confidence, control and commitment (the 4C's) are generally considered the main mental qualities that are important for successful performance in most sports .
- Concentration - ability to maintain focus
- Confidence - believe in one's abilities
- Control - ability to maintain emotional control regardless of distraction
- Commitment - ability to continue working to agreed goals
The techniques of relaxation, centering and mental imagery can assist an athlete to achieve the 4C's.

Frustration at the top…
I am very proud of the effort each athlete is giving during this 12 week series of Coaches Challenge WOD’s. As I was working with Candace yesterday and helping her navigate through her frustration with the clean and jerk, it struck me! Candace had already beaten her previous PR by 10 lbs., and her movement looked solid to go up another 15 or 20 lbs. She then failed at 155, so we decreased the weight to 145. After several attempts, we decided that 135 was her PR. At first she seemed disappointed, but I reminded her that she had just smoked her previous PR with ease! The key for Candace and every single athlete that reaches a goal or surpasses a previous level of performance, is to bask in the satisfaction and enjoyment of accomplishment, and then look to the future. So, the next time you blow the doors off a lift,WOD, or anything else, enjoy it!

effort, then 5 seconds less on my second, and the same on my third, as my PR). Then max rep 45# shoulder press x 3: 15, 6, 2. That went downhill fast!
