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. "

Forging a Healthy Family Jeff Vale CrossFit Snohomish'...it became obvious that this fit perfectly with the self-image we were trying to create in our three girls. As a father of girl's in today's society there are few things scarier than the people, values and traits that are glorified and portrayed as beautiful before our young ladies.......Unfortunately, this leaves so many young ladies and a growing number of young men struggling to find a healthy balance between food, exercise and self- image." "The positive effects of CrossFit that we saw in our lives have become evident in the lives of our children."

Mental Toughness Steve Toth CrossFit Brand X "....by varying workouts and requiring completion as prescribed, kids (and adults) are forced to mentally face their weaknesses head on. The physical and mental reward of such work is significant."..."by encouraging our kids to embrace the idea of turning a weakness into a strength, we are empowering them to push themselves beyond self created limits. They learn to mentally value achievements for which they had to overcome personal struggles to complete."
