Not at all! The program is meant to compliment what you are already doing. Small twists to warm-ups, workouts, and cool downs make a major impact without uprooting the training structure that your athletes have come to love and which you've worked hard to cultivate. 

100%. One of the things that many athletes love about CrossFit is the ability to measure progress on specific benchmark workouts. Athletes will "feel" the results of the program. However, for those who like data, the benefits will be easy to measure through specific time trials, greater aerobic output at reduced heart rate, and the ability to lower heart rate and expedite the recovery process post workout. If your box is using any form of V02 max testing, athletes will see a measurable improvement in their bodies ability to effectively utilize oxygen and buffer greater carbon dioxide levels-both leading to higher work output with decreased fatigue and faster recovery. 

Do you know that one athlete who complained about every one of your technique adjustments....until they PR'd and thanked you for it?

This is like that.

Most athletes have a clogged nose, very low tolerance to carbon dioxide, and pretty crappy breathing mechanics. Taking one step back to take three forward is what this program is all about. 

You will have your skeptics for sure. However, the science of how the body uses oxygen is as strong and clear as science comes. The performance benefits are as well. This is an opportunity to leverage your communication skills as a coach and push athletes to the next tier of personal performance. Once you do-they will love you for it. 

Combining the physiology based training (nasal breathing in warm-ups, breathing drills in workouts and cool-downs) with the biomechanics of better breathing will let the athlete experience the feeling of taking a full breath for the first time...this alone removes a lot of skepticism and creates a powerful and eye opening opportunity for athlete and coach alike. 

The basics? Absolutely. The in-depth material that we'll cover in the course? This will take an investment in professional development that is time intensive and 100% worth it. Fortunately, the Breathe New Life into Your Box program operates on the 80/20 principle. 20 percent of actions and implementation strategies result in 80 percent of gains. Your staff can adopt simple principles such as incorporating breathing drills into warm-ups and aiding in the recovery process based on info that you share.
