Brand X/ CrossFit Kids Member Success for July 2010 **Cole Dick**

Cole is a 14 year old that participates in our CrossFit Kids Teen/Advanced class and also participates in our CrossFit Kids Certs on a monthly basis. He has shown such great motivation in himself and encouragement to his peers in his class. He is a true testament to CrossFit Kids and a role model for others. I recently spoke to him about how CrossFit Kids has impacted him, and this is what Cole had to say.

"I started CrossFit 3 years ago when I was 11 years old to help my endurance and strength for racing cars. I have consistently gone 4-5 times a week. All my hard work has paid off! I have lost 35 pounds and my strength and stamina has increase tremendously. Along with my physical fitness CrossFit has really helped me with my diet and learning about proper nutrition. I have recently achieved two of my CrossFit goals by doing a muscle up and completing Grace as RX’d. My current CrossFit goals are to dead lift 400lbs before I’m 15 and to compete in the sectionals next year. CrossFit has impacted my life in several ways. It has become like a second family to me, I have met several good friends, and it has changed my way of exercising and eating. Mostly it has proven to me that what looks impossible can be achieved with hard work and dedication.
I would like to personally thank Jeff and Mikki Martin for their continued support and sponsorship with racing and for continuing to push me to strive to do my best."
