Mom always said to "Set the example." She was right. We need to teach our kids how to become leaders. How to push themselves to excel. We can't simply say "do your best." We have to show them that we do our best. They need to know how to take care of themselves, eat right, push the limits of their bodies, and compete. The need to learn about building character. As parents, time = influence. So take some time, use your influence to educate your children on the importance of fitness and sport. Give them that positive outlet and goals to focus on. Then show them how to apply those lessons to everyday life and relationships. Crossfit is one of the best methods for this because it is scalable to any level and emphasizes functional movements that will stay with you for life. Don't just take these special blessings for granted. Enjoy the time with your kiddos and keep them pure.
