CrossFit | Overcoming Box Jump Fears — CrossFit @crossfit | Uploaded August 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
"this is one of the largest mental blocks I’ve ever experienced."
@susanne_silvius: To probably most everyone, this looks like no big deal, she’s jumping onto a small box. But to me this is one of the largest mental blocks I’ve ever experienced. It’s been almost a year since my gnarly box jump injury and I still haven’t jumped onto anything really because my brain will not let my legs move when I stand in front of a box. When I saw @coachjordii programmed me box jumps this week my first thought was umm no, why am I even doing this? It has nothing to do with my upcoming comp, I’m not doing this right now. But because I trust my coach, I said fine let’s see how this goes. I measured this height and it’s 14.5.” Like, my 6 year old can jump on that, it’s not a big deal. But to my brain, it might as well be 4 feet tall. I’m still working through all this, but this is a huge step in getting back to 20” box jumps. Thanks Jordan, for pushing me and believing I can do things that I didn’t think I could yet 💪🏻 and thank you Renee for the pep talk when you saw my struggle ❤️
