The CrossFit regional season ended with a bang at the Reebok Campus over Memorial Day weekend. Thanks to the help of Steve's Club supporters across the nation, we were able to bring a group of athletes from Local Clubs Steve's Club Camden and Steve's Club NYC to Reebok for the North East Regional event. Our athletes were thrilled to experience the healthy competition and camaraderie that defines the CrossFit community!
(As an added bonus, Steve's Club National Program Director Lee Knight (above, far right) turned in an incredible performance in the women's individual competition - and the Steve's Club athletes got to cheer her on!)
Words can't explain how grateful we are for the support we receive from the CrossFit community. Our youth got to chat with seasoned athletes and organizers of all walks of life, and Reebok-CrossFit organizers even invited our athletes onto the competition field to be introduced and throw T-shirts to the cheering crowd!
Being a part of the CrossFit family, and growing up in a culture that values health, fitness, hard work and respectful competition is invaluable to the athletes of Steve's Club. They even wrote a few notes about what stood out to them most about the weekend - enjoy their letters!
Jose: "I'm inspired to help more kids in their physical lives because I saw how people responded towards us and how they wished they had CrossFit when they were younger...I hope and pray that I can be a role model for kids in the neighborhood..."
Kevin: "Thank you, Reebok and the CrossFit community for letting us be part of your event and for giving us the opportunity to experience Regionals. My favorite part of the weekend was to motivate our Program Director Lee Knight and also improve my Grace [workout] time..."
Pedro: "My favorite part of the weekend was getting to see all the CrossFitters compete in difficult competitions and never giving up...I'm motivated to become a future CrossFitter..."
Danny: "I was inspired watching [Lee's] great performance...I'm really glad to have her around helping us Steve's Club athletes reach for better goals in life."
The greatest discovery any outsider could make about Camden is it's overriding response to failure: If it didn’t work last year, do it AGAIN this year (and if possible do it MORE).
Every year they pass more laws, hire more police, build more prisons, and sentence more offenders for longer periods-all without moving one inch closer to “ending” crime. If it didn’t work last year or the year before that or the year before that or the year before that, but you can be sure we’ll try it again this year, knowing beyond a shadow of a doubt that it won’t work this year either.
Every year they spend more money on schools, hoping to “fix” whatever’s wrong with them, and every year the schools remain stubbornly unfixed. Spending money didn’t work last year or the year before that or the year before that, but you can be sure we’ll try it again this year, knowing beyond shadow of a doubt that it won’t work this year either.
Every year they try to make the criminals go away, and every year they remain with us. We couldn’t shoehorn these criminals back into the “the mainstream” last year or the year before that or the year before that or the year before that, but you can be sure we’ll try it again this year, knowing beyond a shadow of a doubt that it won’t work this year either.
Maybe its time to TRY something DIFFERENT.
Afterall, IF Camden is saved, it will not be saved by old minds with new programs but by new minds with no programs at all.
Much of my inspiration comes from Daniel Quinn in "Ishmael."
