Jay Rhodes wrote anarticle in the CrossFit Journal titled "It's Not All About the Numbers." In this article, he talks about finding CrossFit but not being very consistent with the training. His father then became very ill, and with the realization that what your body cand do could be taken away from you at any moment, he dialed in his training and vowed to make the most of it. In the end, he presents this quote:
In the gym, day in and day out, ordinary people are doing extraordinary things. Every day we get an opportunity to go in and get better, to do something we’ve never done before. Personally, I am not satisfied with doing something I did last week. This is what CrossFit has become to me and why I am so obsessed with it.
