I serve on the local board of NFTE which focuses on teaching entrepreneurship to inner city kids who might not finish high school if not for this effort. A fantastic organization.
Why it is relevant to Crossfit is because NFTE reminds me every day that the best way to help others is by showing them both access and opportunity.
I believe anyone introduced to CrossFit – and its complete transformation of life – was at one point introduced to the sport by someone who brought them to the local box (access) and gave them a chance to change their own lives (opportunity).
To actually take advantage of any opportunity, of course, is our responsibility.
For those who 18 months ago showed me CrossFit access and opportunity:
Aimee and Jason at CFKOP – I’m eternally grateful.
