Another Look at Obesity in Childhood Patrick O"Hannigan Independant Home CrossFitter "Nutritional messages fly out the window when schools relax their own rules in an effort to reward students. For example, at least one elementary school in North Carolina made donuts available to third and fourth- grade students when those students were taking standardized tests for which they had studied most of the year. Think a sugar rush would help a child who might not have had any other breakfast figure out a math problem? Of course not. The kid coulda had a V-8 and probably shoulda had at least a Zone bar. "

"...The results of incorporating CrossFit into our practice schedule were incredible. That is to say, that our players, despite being smaller, less experienced and for the most part less talented, consistantly outplayed our opposition both individually and as a team."
An Introduction to the Game Based WOD Robert Ord "...Kids often don't think of a timed workout in the same terms that adults do;
as a chance to do your personal best. Instead they think of it as a race....What do you do to spark the fire of intensity in young athletes that are still
