CFNI: Coach Cassie

For those of you following this series, this iteration of the Coach’s Profile features Coach Cassie. Last weekend, I had the pleasure of meeting and shooting Coaches Cassie and Kyler. What an impressive young couple! Because of my consistently inconsistent attendance at CFNI, I had never met Cassie prior to last Saturday. What an absolutely delightful young woman. Anyone who interacts with Cassie will agree that she has a lovely disposition and a wonderful positive attitude (and a sweet Labradoodle named Marvin). I was so impressed with her obvious intelligence and movement acumen. Cassie was very polite and patient while I was setting up, offering some time to get to know her a little. She’s currently studying to be a nurse and has quite an academic background (you should ask her about studying sports management in one of the Carolinas). She’s always been active and came to CrossFit as a way to continue training. She spoke highly about the athleticism of her partner, Coach Kyler, who, incidentally, spoke highly about her fearlessness on a mountain bike and her athletic aptitude. About her movement acumen mentioned above … after sitting for a portrait, Coach Cassie walked around on her hands for at least 2,684 steps! After that, she said, “why don’t I get the GHD machine,” with an enthusiasm that made my guts hurt just hearing those letters. She must have ripped off 25 GHD sit ups before I was even ready. We (read: she) finished off our session with some textbook cleans. Cassie was great to work with in front of the camera. I’ll be certain to attend one of her classes on Saturday in 2021 to check out her coaching style (you should do the same, in fact, DM me and we’ll take one of her classes together). Enjoy!
